3. Searching for themes | Collating codes into potential themes, gathering all data relevant to each potential theme. |
4. Reviewing themes | Checking in the themes work in relation to the coded extracts (Level 1) and the entire data set (Level 2), generating a thematic “map” of the analysis. |
5. Defining and naming themes | Ongoing analysis to refine the specifics of each theme and the overall story the analysis tells; generating clear definitions and names for each theme. |
6. Producing the report: | The final opportunity for analysis. Selecting vivid, compelling extract examples, the final analysis of selected extracts, relating the analysis to the research question and literature, and producing a scholarly report of the analysis. |
