Qualitative Thematic Analysis Process
The six steps of thematic analysis (Braun and Clarke) as a process figure, from familiarisation to the written report.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Six steps in order, with the loop back to refine themes
- Interview and transcript stage included
- Good for the methodology chapter of a thesis
Prompt used
Thematic analysis process: collect interviews, transcribe them, familiarise with the data by reading and re-reading, generate initial codes, search for themes, review themes against the coded extracts and the whole data set (go back to coding if they do not fit), define and name themes, and produce the report with extracts.
