Some common challenges and solutions are:

  • Too much data: Focus on answering your research questions. Discard irrelevant information.
  • Overlapping themes: Refine and merge similar themes without losing meaning.
  • Subjectivity: Use peer review and reflexivity (acknowledge your biases) to stay objective. For instance, if two themes, "Community Support" and "Parental Involvement," overlap, consider merging them into a broader theme like "Stakeholder Collaboration."
