Joyce: Thematic Analysis
You are take the interview responses (see attached) and develop a thematic analysis for each interview question. Thematic analysis is a qualitative data
analysis method that involves reading through a data set (such as transcriipts from in depth interviews or focus groups), and identifying patterns in meaning
across the data to derive themes. When you write up the analysis, categorize themes based on the research questions. Example, the paragraph heading
should be Research Question 1; then discuss themes from the research questions, thus, answering research question 1. Repeat the process for the next 3
sub-questions. Also, add interview statements when completing this assignment. Below is the research question and sub-questions: • Major Research
