Emphasize Flexibility in Data Analysis: Reflective thematic analysis (RTA), as proposed by Braun and Clarke (2021), encourages flexibility in approaching data while maintaining analytical rigor.
Just read in a few articles that this involves iterative coding, where initial codes are revisited and revised to ensure they accurately capture the nuanced meanings within the data.
Now my main curiosity comes? Whats Reflexivity? Lets see!!!!—actively questioning the researcher’s own role, assumptions, and influence—plays a key role in ensuring authenticity and depth in theme development (Braun & Clarke, 2006).
I feel qualitative research is a little overwhelming experience..... So.
Prioritize Rich and Contextualized Interpretation: Braun and Clarke stress the importance of grounding themes .
Thematic analysis should go beyond summarizing the data to identify patterns and insights .The use of compelling, illustrative data extracts to support identified themes enhances transparency and trustworthiness in the analysis process (Braun & Clarke, 2021).
Braun & Clarke, 2021- This is my personal fav- ping me if you have any!!!
