Study Notes
Thematic Analysis
- Allows for flexibility in interpreting data and enables handling large data sets by sorting them into broad themes.
- Involves the risk of missing nuances in the data and is often subjective, relying on the researcher's judgment.
- Requires careful reflection on one's own choices and interpretations to ensure accuracy.
Approaches to Thematic Analysis
- Inductive approach: allows the data to determine themes.
- Deductive approach: comes to the data with preconceived themes based on theory or existing knowledge.
Steps in Thematic Analysis
- Step 1: Familiarization: getting to know the data by transcribing audio, reading through text, and taking initial notes.
- Step 2: Coding: highlighting sections of text and creating shorthand labels or "codes" to describe their content.
- Step 3: Generating themes: identifying patterns among codes and creating themes that are broader than codes.
- Step 4: Reviewing themes: ensuring themes are useful and accurate representations of the data by comparing them against the data set.
What is Thematic Analysis?
- A method of analyzing qualitative data, usually applied to a set of texts, such as interview transcripts.
- Involves identifying common themes, topics, ideas, and patterns of meaning that come up repeatedly.
When to Use Thematic Analysis
- Suitable for research where you're trying to find out about people's views, opinions, knowledge, experiences, or values from a set of qualitative data.
- Examples of research questions that can be answered using thematic analysis include: How do patients perceive doctors in a hospital setting? What are young women's experiences on dating sites?
Elements of Drama
- Setting: identifies the time and place in which the events occur, including historical period, moment, day, and season, as well as sceneries in the performance.
- Characters: the people in the play, considered as the principal material in a drama.
- Plot: lays out the series of events that form the entirety of the play, including the beginning, middle, and end.
- Theme: the unifying element that defines the dramatized idea of the play, defining the problem, emphasizing ethical judgment, and suggesting the course of action that eliminates the crisis.
- Style: the mode of expression or presentation of the play, pointing out the playwright's position or viewpoint in life.
