Love the little cartoon inserts lol. Thanks. Makes it more human 🙂

Thank you

This helped me so much! Thank you!

Thanks Dr K. You have shared a very good video on keeping us on track when it comes to pulling the findings together for a clear purpose of making change in the world. Thank you!

Hi, this was so helpful. Thank you! Can you explain how to extract word comments neatly to a coding table? I tried many ways but somehow macros don't work on my mac word..

I truly appreciate this video. Thank you very much.

Dr. K - been a fan for a while and thank you for the note on making findings actionable!

this channel must have more than one Million Followers

I love these videos .. very informative and well presented

This is the most clear videos on qualitative videos I have ever seen!!! Thank you so much from PERU!!!!

Great video. Thank you

I will look into these books..

### Detailed Steps for Using ChatGPT for Thematic Analysis Coding #### Preparation 1. **Collect Data:** - Gather all transcripts or textual data that you want to analyze. 2. **Set Up Tools:** - Ensure you have access to ChatGPT (preferably ChatGPT Plus for uploading documents) and Microsoft Word or any text editor for organizing and color-coding your files. #### Initial Coding 3. **Prepare Data for Upload:** - If using ChatGPT Plus, prepare your transcript files for upload. If using the free version, prepare to copy and paste your data into the chat. 4. **Create Initial Prompts:** - Develop a detailed initial prompt for ChatGPT. Include the context of your study but avoid sharing specific research questions or aims to prevent bias. - Example Prompt: "This is a transcript from a study exploring teachers' experiences of remote work. Please generate detailed descriptive codes for this transcript." 5. **Upload/Copy Transcript:** - Upload the transcript file to ChatGPT Plus or copy and paste the transcript into the chat. 6. **Generate Initial Codes:** - Run the initial prompt with ChatGPT and review the output. - If the output is unsatisfactory, refine your prompt and try again until you are happy with the detailed codes generated. 7. **Extract and Organize Codes:** - Ask ChatGPT to generate a list of codes without quotes for easier management. - Example Prompt: "Please provide the same codes but without the quotes." 8. **Document and Color Code:** - Create a text file for each participant with both the codes and associated quotes, using a unique color for each participant. - Create a separate file for the list of codes (focus coding file) and paste the codes into this file, maintaining the same color scheme for consistency. #### Focus Coding 9. **Group and Refine Codes:** - Manually group similar codes from different participants into broader categories. - Use the color-coded focus coding file to track the origin of each code. 10. **Iterative Adjustment:** - Adjust and refine the codes based on emerging patterns. Ask ChatGPT for adjustments if necessary. - Example Prompt: "Based on these refined codes, generate more detailed descriptions." 11. **Review and Validate:** - Continuously review the codes to ensure they are descriptive and cover all aspects of the data. - Manually check the quotes to validate that they accurately reflect the content of the codes. #### Theme Development 12. **Develop Themes:** - Manually identify themes from the grouped codes. Ensure these themes accurately represent the underlying data. - Example Prompt: "Based on these groups of codes, suggest potential themes that accurately describe the data." 13. **Manual Finalization:** - Manually finalize the themes to ensure they comprehensively and accurately convey the data insights. - Ensure that you understand the context and meaning of each theme by revisiting the original quotes and codes if necessary. #### Reporting 14. **Document the Process:** - Document every step of the process, including prompts used, decisions made, and changes implemented. - This documentation ensures transparency and allows others to follow and validate your analysis. 15. **Create the Report:** - Compile the final list of themes, supported by detailed codes and quotes. - Ensure the report clearly communicates the findings and the process used to achieve them. #### Final Review 16. **Peer Review:** - If possible, have peers review your process and findings to ensure validity and reliability. - Incorporate feedback and make necessary adjustments. 17. **Ethical Considerations:** - Reflect on ethical considerations throughout the process, ensuring bias control, transparency, and validity. By following these detailed steps, you can leverage ChatGPT for high-quality, ethical thematic analysis while maintaining control and transparency in your research process.

Here are the key differences between phenomenology and grounded theory according to Kriukow: 1. **Purpose and Focus:** - **Phenomenology:** Focuses on understanding and describing the lived experiences of individuals. It aims to capture the essence of these experiences and find shared characteristics among them. - **Grounded Theory:** Focuses on developing a theory or detailed explanation of a social process. It aims to explain phenomena through the construction of a theoretical framework. 2. **Origins:** - **Phenomenology:** Originates from philosophy, specifically the work of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger. - **Grounded Theory:** Originates from sociology, developed by Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss. 3. **Data Collection Methods:** - **Phenomenology:** Primarily uses qualitative in-depth interviews. The data collection method is usually more open-ended and less structured. - **Grounded Theory:** Uses a variety of data collection methods, including interviews, observations, documents, and more. It often involves more structured and systematic data collection techniques. 4. **Sample Size and Selection:** - **Phenomenology:** Typically involves smaller sample sizes, ranging from 5 to 15 participants, focusing on those who have experienced the phenomenon being studied. - **Grounded Theory:** Usually involves larger sample sizes, and employs theoretical sampling where participants are selected based on emerging theory and the need to further develop or refine it. 5. **Role of Existing Literature:** - **Phenomenology:** Engages with existing literature throughout the research process to contextualize findings and support analysis. - **Grounded Theory:** Traditionally minimizes engagement with existing literature before data collection to avoid preconceived notions, revisiting it after theory development to position the new theory within existing research. 6. **Analysis Approach:** - **Phenomenology:** Focuses on thematic analysis to identify and describe the essence of lived experiences. - **Grounded Theory:** Uses a detailed and systematic approach to coding, including open coding, axial coding, and selective coding, to construct a theoretical framework. 7. **Outcome:** - **Phenomenology:** Produces a rich description of the essence of lived experiences. - **Grounded Theory:** Produces a theory that explains the underlying processes or structures of the phenomenon studied. 8. **Interview Structure:** - **Phenomenology:** Interviews are typically very open-ended, allowing participants to share their experiences freely. - **Grounded Theory:** Interviews may be more structured and systematic, with the researcher asking specific questions to explore emerging themes and refine the developing theory. 9. **Researcher's Role and Bias:** - **Phenomenology:** Emphasizes the importance of the researcher’s reflexivity and the need to bracket personal biases to understand the participants' experiences authentically. - **Grounded Theory:** Also emphasizes the researcher’s reflexivity but focuses on systematically generating and refining a theory through iterative data collection and analysis. 10. **Use of Theoretical Sampling:** - **Phenomenology:** Does not typically employ theoretical sampling; participants are selected based on their experience with the phenomenon. - **Grounded Theory:** Employs theoretical sampling, where data collection continues until theoretical saturation is reached, meaning no new insights are being generated.

This is very helpful! Thank you.

How can I import the manually generated codes into the software to identify themes and verify if they align with my manual analysis?

Thank you

I did all my coding in Excel. Each interview had its own tab. Broke the transcription within each tab down into rows. There were columns for each code (I started with some codes but more emerged during analysis). At the end, I could filter out uncoded rows. I also added a separate tab that used Excel formulas (countif) to summarise how many codes in each interview.

this video was really phenonmonal, thank you! btw, has anyone ever said you look like the boxer Oleksandr Usyk? It's uncanny

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!

If you are using a deductive thematic analysis approach and wish to discuss extracts. can you connect those extracts with a particular part of theory or literature?

Dear Dr Kriukow, Thank you so much for the video. Dear Dr Kriukow, I hope you are doing well. I want to ask you for an inquiry related to qualitative data analysis. If I'm asked to create a coding manual for interview questions. How can this be done? This coding manual will be used by many coders so I need to ensure there is consistency in coding and that they are following it when they do the analysis. Your guidance is highly appreciated

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu !!!!!!!

Your smile is so beautiful

Thank you 🙏🏻 very helpful ♥️

Thank you so much Sir. I understand how to do my work much better now because of you!! I will be mentioning your name in my acknowledgements of my thesis :))

Thank you for making this series, it helped me so much with my thesis!

Hi thanks for sharing your videos, I appreciate it. May ask for your email? I'll be inquiring about coding for a qualitative research :) Thank you for taking time of my message, hope to talk to you soon. God bless you

You’ve explained more in 17mins than my lecturer has the past few months. I was going insane! Thank you!

Tq so much for your video. I’m wondering if I will need to cite ChatGPT in my methodology? Many thanks.

thank you so much Dr Kriukow, i have zero experience with qual study. and there's no one to guide. your videos have really save my days! tq so much!!!

Hi, Dr. Kriukow thank you for this wonderful presentation, it is very insightful. will it be acceptable to discuss the questions one by one in the discussion chapter or compress them into one heading and discuss them together?

Thank you Dr Kruikow, highly appreciated. 😊

Great Video! Can we have a collaboration? How can we contact you?

The part on mindshift warmed my heart. I really needed to hear it. Felt a failure for so long especially looking at some of my friends.

Thank you. I am currently presenting my results from interviews and I don't know how to correctly write it down. When do I use these: " " only when the citation is shorter than 40 words? Do I have to make the citation cursive, what do I need to reference etc...? :)

tomorrow is my research defense and because of this video i completed my research paper.

PhD student here; this video has been extremely helpful! Thank you!

Bonjour, superbe démonstartion. I'm doing a thesis in which I have to code, using an a priori coding grid (other codes may emerge from the interviews), around thirty interviews of 25 pages each. Is it possible to do this with AILYSE in its free or paid version and then do thematic analysis for the results and discussion sections of a qualitative research thesis?

helpful thank you! im using this for an open-ended qualitative survey, however im running into an issue that after giving me an initial set of 6-8 codes it then goes on to make up the rest of the quotes when i ask for more codes. Is there a way around this?

Legend. Thank you!!

I asked you about your book in a previous video but did not get a response. I needed more verification

I am going to make a literature review for RQ: What are the implications of climate change on child hunger in Small Island Developing States?. Can I use systematic review? thank u

Do you offer any one-on-one coaching for a master's thesis planning/writing?

Great advice Dr K

Thanks Dr Kriukow, I am a PGR in my second year. The first myth that you have debunked has actually taken away a very big burden from my head. You have explained it in a simple and relatable way that I was very anxious about. I though my research could benefit from GT but the thought of constructing a new theory has been haunting me. Your video is very helpful for a beginner like me. Many Thanks!!

This is relevant to my research process and practice. I'm a writer/poet and student on the MA writing programme at RCA London and about to embark upon a research project. Thanks for the references made. Patricia Levy gave great answers throughout this conversation!😮

Thank you! Great video and concepts explained really well

Great video! Steps: * Familiarise * Code * Analysis

It is OK to have one big theme and sub-themes?
