Table 2 Overview of data analysis

From: Exploring formal and informal learning opportunities during morning report: a qualitative study

Step

Activity

1

All authors watched and discussed six randomly selected video-recorded morning reports while sitting together. During each video-recording, each author wrote down their individual reflections. Notes were shared and preliminary themes were identified. Two analytical dimensions, a socio-cultural dimension and an explicit teaching and learning dimension, were identified. The socio-cultural dimension has been described in a previous study (24).

2

The first and last author then re-watched all 23 recordings individually and made detailed descriptive notes on paper about the interactions, focusing on teaching activities and learning opportunities.

3

The notes were compared, and initial codes were identified using an inductive and explorative approach. Selected video excerpts were watched several times to review the codes and identify initial themes.

4

Further analysis was then undertaken using Eraut’s theoretical framework as a lens and defining final themes. Selected passages were transcribed verbatim.

5

Analysis concluded with a final check and adjustment of themes.
