Braun and Clarke’s Six Phase Approach to Thematic Analysis
Stage 1: Become familiar with the data by listening to the recordings and reading through the transcripts Stage 2: Generate initial codes through an open coding process Stage 3: Search for themes from the open code to generate categories Stage 4 Review categories to propose preliminary themes Stage 5: Define and name final themes by comparing preliminary themes against raw data Stage 6: Generating a report
