Sir please make video on results and discussion part of qualitative research ..... Need of

[@qualitativeresearcher]

@@drperahmurtaza4142 I have videos in which I talk about presenting the results of thematic analysis, which is pretty much about the results

[@akinsamuel8243]

Thank you for the presentation, but I still couldn't see the themes emerging from the analysis. All That I could see were the code being highlighted.

[@AR-vh9vw]

Tip: when finding codes from your list and placing them under each Theme you can use "split screen" option in Word so that you don't scroll back n forth so much. Also to count the number of times each code appeared you can simply copy the code and paste it in the "Find" function of Word and this way it will show you immediately how times that code appeared in your text.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

LOVE THESE! Thank you !

[@beautythroughlens5598]

Great

[@liabw05]

Great idea

[@Mark-ot4ub]

This method demonstrates the concepts well, regardless of whether MS WORD or Nvivo is used. Thanks. Here's an outline: Software (Nvivo) is better > MS WORD > paper 3 steps: code, clean up code; thematic framework 1-Use a table two columns for interviews as the example line by line coding for 3 -4 interviews 2-make several columns on another file for other interviews showing all codes Start cleaning up - creating standard codes Go back to interview files and put standard codes in Aim: creating a framework 3 - Thematic Framework Recall aim & RQs of example paper Sort all codes in one column (get ready to receive) Start identifying themes; sorts all codes under correct themes Count number of each code under each theme; strength of code under themes sub-theme "Suggestions for improvement" Now use "comment" function (with "find" function) Highiight the found code sentences for "results" chapter [These are not in vivo codes - probably structural coding]

[@atulhadap2176]

Thanks

[@wm23121984]

I am a student pursuing my Masters in Internation Business Management at the University of Aberdeen, and my essay assignment was coding and thematic analysis. Your video has made me understand this concept so much better. Appreciate your efforts in enlightening many students and professionals like me. Thank you so much, Dr. Kriukow.

[@nimeeta289]

I will be able to submit my thesis, after all. The video was extremely clear and helpful. Thank you!

Excellent! Glad that I could help, and hope you managed with time!

[@cosmasworlanyokofimereku5204]

As you indicated, some of our University Authorities don't spend money in this area for students in Ghana. The Librarian in my University had written several times on this. I teach research methods to our postgraduate (MPhil & PhD) in the Music Department. I have a challenge when it comes to DATA ANALYSIS especially for those requiring Qualitative Data Analysis for their research. Your videos (I mean the different related videos) were shared last year for this class and will be given to my students this year in this second semester. Almost all the students last gave me positive feedback on how useful the videos were in clearing their misconceptions and how they helped in consolidating the knowledge and skills required for using Thematic Analysis. With the software, I introduced them to HyperRESEARCH which is free up to 7 cases. Again, it was very beneficial because they watched your presentation on using the NVivo software.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

I'm really glad to hear that this content has been useful. Also, if you think there is any other way I can help your students (e.g. by giving a presentation or workshop), reach out through my website and I'd be glad to talk about this

[@angelaclarke2955]

Thanks so much. As someone who has never coded before, this has been a lifesaver!

Whenever I tie myself in knots regarding any concept, procedure or aspect of Qualitative Research, I find all my answers from you... every time !! I was so confused about how to go for coding as I have a mental block against big complicated software and apps. Here, you explained it so beautifully using Word. One more Coffee is due now :). Thanks a lot, Dr.

This is my first time working with qualitative data and I have no idea at all how to do thematic analysis. Fortunately, I found this channel. The explanation is so clear and understandable. Thank you so much Dr. Kriukow. Hope my thesis going well.

[@samuelsinchende9403]

Thanks doc. This lesson has cleared most of my questions. Using ms word to explain made it even simpler to understand.

thank you so much for this video! I'm doing qualitative analysis for my masters dissertation. It is overwhelming doing with no prior experience. I tried the trial softwaere it was not productive. I read I few articles that helps with the theory but your video é superbeb! I can now feel I can actually do this! thank you again!!!

[@qualitativeresearcher]

I'm really, really glad to hear this! And good luck with the rest of your study!

[@Nowfelpsychologist]

I was kind of stuck with the way forward and this video was a savior. I personally prefer populating the codes from the transcripts into an excel file and I believe the filter function in excel can be put to a lot of productive analytical engagements. Thanks a Million Dr Kriukow

[@qualitativeresearcher]

Great to hear! And yes, I can imagine Excel being better at this. Lots of my clients or students I work with use Excel, I am just somehow averse to Excel and never been good at it, but I agree 100% with what you said!

[@kemhelenius7074]

I am doing only a bachelor's thesis so it didn't seem prudent to purchase and download software for this one project. (And my thesis supervisor didn't recommend it, either.) I am going to use this method. I find the process logical and straightforward...Let's see how it goes! Starting the coding now.

[@philmcgroin]

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.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

this is brilliant, I always envy people who can use Excel, and yes I have seen many of them use it for data analysis. sounds like you did that correctly too - I would never, as I panic and sweat extensively when I see Excel :))))

[@philmcgroin]

@@qualitativeresearcher it would be worth trying it out, maybe a video idea? The transcripts started in Word, then I moved them to Excel. To start with I just put each question into a cell and each response into a cell (just copy and paste), then took it from there

This was the goal. I am aware that there are many people who simply cannot afford to use professional software, and others may simply be anxious to learn the new software.

Thank you so much for your videos, Dr. Kriukow! I am doing qualitative research for the first time and find your videos anxiety relieving! I have a question about using a double coder. Do you recommend the second coder use the cleaned up version of the codes or at which stage should the second coder start? (I apologize if this is a silly question).

[@qualitativeresearcher]

it is not a silly question. I do not like to use another coder, as I feel that it is always going to generate differences too big to be ignored. Even if I myself do the analysis for the second time, let's say a month later, I am likely to generate at least slightly different findings. This is why the inter-coder reliability is a practice that many, including myself, are sceptical of. But if you do bring another person to do it, the idea is that they start from scratch just like you did
