How to go from Codes to Themes in Qualitative Analysis

Quirkos can help you manage your qualitative coding process, try it for free at www.quirkos.com
Coding qualitative data is just one part of the process, usually you need to create larger themes or topics to make sense of qualitative data. But how do you make sure that you don't go round in circles, but create new insight with each loop? Dr Cathy Gibbons, our qualitative expert, talks you through codes, themes, insight and 'chunking' in thematic analysis, and how to break down the seemingly impossible task of analysing your qualitative data in easy steps.

Thanks for the video !!

[@hana.karissw9898]

Thanks! I'm wondering: once we have used quirkos to find the themes, what do we do then? Where in Quirkos can we record all our deep analysis ie relating of the themes to each other, to the overall question, to the literature, to a new finding, etc. How do we 'export' qualitative theme data in ways that help us in the next step, including writeups?

[@smartc.amaefula3431]

You stole my mind. i wish that question can be answered. Yes, we have derived our themes and sub themes from coding our data. We now have them in hand, how do we use them to begin analysis?

[@hananebouslahi1433]

thank you fo the video it is really helpful. Can you talk about the analysis process in IPA, please? thanks again

[@Quirkos]

Great idea - will try and do a video on IPA

[@ann-mariebarclay7483]

Very interesting and informative. How do you formulate themes from quantative research?

[@Quirkos]

It depends a lot on the type of quantitative research, and what questions you are setting. There's a little more information here: www.quirkos.com/learn-qualitative/quantitative-mixed-methods.html
