THEMATIC ANALYSIS
● Method for analyzing qualitative data that involves reading through a set of data and looking for
patterns in the meaning of the data to find themes.
● Reporting qualitative data: discuss the codes themes or categories that emerge from the word
phrases and sentences you collected from interviews observation or document analysis
5 ELEMENTS
● CODES – Identifying concepts from the collective (raw)
● CATEGORIES - Linking codes to create a unit or a category
● PATTERNS - Identifying repeat units ( a pattern from categories)
● THEMES - Crating a theme that represents similar patterns
Any researcher who desires to become an expert at doing qualitative analysis must learn to code well and
easily the quality of the research rests largely on the excellence of decoding - Strauss 1987
CODING
● This is “how you define what the data are analyzing are about”
● The process includes identifying concepts and finding relationships between.
DESCRIPTIVE CODING - Summarizes the primary topic of the excerpt or a statement
PROCESS CODING - A word or a phrase that captures action
IN VIVO CODING - Using the participants' own language
FOUR PATTERN CODING - From patterns in the data
FIVE SIMULTANEOUS CODING - Applying multiple codes to the same text
Example: Descriptive vs In Vivo Coding
1. What are your experience/s as a student who habitually abuse your own classmates?
Example response: Our class section are full of students who habitually abuse their own classmate that
must be punished!
* The details of codes completely depend on your research questions and what you’re trying to obtain
from the data
CATEGORIZING
● To categorize is to arrange things in a systematic order, to make something part of a system or
classification
SAMPLE CODE
THEME: Identity
Code: Tattoo
Code: Myth } Category 1 Ethnicity
Code: Dressing Style
Code: Grammar
Code: Symbols } Category 3 Religion
Code: Speaking Style
* According to Rossman & Rallis (2003),to differentiate the difference of category and themes, think of a
category as a word of phase describing s of your data that is segment explicit, whereas the themes is a
phase or sentence describing more subtle and tacit process
*Don’t forget to include in Chapter 4 THE SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT of your study SPIRAL
