[ResearchReadyandStudentMatters]

hello everyone! thank you for watching our lesson videos, I hope that they are helping you in your research activities. I will be glad to read about your experiences, which you can write down below. Let us work together to complete your paper.

I learned that thematic analysis involves several important steps with an emphasis on coding. First, you need to familiarize yourself with the data by transcribing the interview with your groupmate and reading it multiple times. The second step is to generate initial codes by reading the interview answers line by line or segment by segment, identifying relevant phrases or words, and assigning appropriate codes. The process of coding helps in understanding the content deeply. Lastly, descriptive coding involves summarizing the information in a simple paragraph, which I find essential for organizing and interpreting the data effectively.

Done watching.

Done watching, ma'am. Thank you so much po for sharing this valuable information with us!❤️

[angelicaseguenza]

Done watching po ma'am, this will really help po sa pag generate namin ng code sa data.

[espinosaronalds.]

Done watching po mam. Sa personal nalang po kami magtatanong and inquiries regarding po sa mga participants po namin. Thank you po 🫶

[escabillaskyleangelocuevas]

Done watching po ma'am, i learned what is code, and how to do coding. Code is the most interesting or important on the sentence and coding is the way how can you take a code on a sentence.

[almacenmikaelawayne]

Done watching maam, this will really help po sa pag summarize ng mga key points sa mga answer ng participants namin.

[janfrancismendoza]

Done watching po maam, I learned the difference between codes and coding. Code is a word or phrase that summarizes the data, while coding is a process to get the codes in the data. Thank you po maam

Done Watching po Ma'am! :))

I just noticed that "Generating initial codes" is extremely important when it comes to thematic analysis. This step involves identifying and tagging significant pieces of data with initial codes, which helps in organizing and categorizing the data. By doing so, you lay the groundwork for developing broader themes and patterns that will emerge in the analysis process.

Done watching po Ma'am😇 its really help po talaga, particularly in the 2nd step which is the Generating Initial Codes🙂

[jamiahborres]

Done :))


My main takeaway here in this video: In the 2nd step, which is the Generating Initial Codes. Codes and Coding are two different things. Codes can be a word or phrase, while coding is most likely the process to get the codes in data. In order to have  codes, the researcher needs to do the process of  coding. 


Thank you so much po, Ma'am!

Done watching po. Sa personal nalang po kami mag ask 😊

Takeaways:
The thematic analysis procedure by Braun and Clarke (2006) has six steps. First, you familiarize yourself with the data by transcribing it for each participant and thoroughly reading it. The second step is generating initial codes, which involves descriptive coding where researchers go through the data line to identify key features.

Done watching po ma'am, thank you so much po sa video

[emanuelbulawan]

Done watching po ma'am, very helpful po ito sa amin after namen mag interview sa quantitative. Ma'am baka po may tutorial kayo paano makagawa ng outliers question galing po sa survery result thank you.

[atazarjessae.]

15:44 : Good morning po, Ma'am. Paano naman po kung ang answers po ni Participant ay hindi matched sa questions? Need pa rin po ba i-code?
