LESSON

Inferring and Explaining Patterns and Themes from Data

Identifying Meaningful Patterns and Themes


The identification of meaning patterns and themes is the core of qualitative data analysis.
1. Content Analysis – this technique could be used when qualitative data had been
collected through interviews, focus groups, observations and documentary analyses.
Contest analysis may be done on two levels:
First is the basic level, a descriptive discussion of what the data is. It simply specifies
what was said and no further explanation or comments on how and why it was said
should be done.
Second is the higher level, a more interpretative analysis that combines the specific
responses, as well as what may have been inferred or implied from the data.
Interpretation involves what the data means.
Content analysis also involves coding and classifying of the data, also referred to as
categorizing and coding or indexing. The aim of content analysis is to make sense of
data and to make inferences about the messages or findings.

Steps of Content Analysis


1. Prepare your data. 6. Check the validity and reliability
2. Determine the unit of analysis. of the data.
3. Develop the categories and coding system. 7. Draw inferences.
4. Pre-test the coding system. 8. Present the results.
5. Code all the textual data.

2. Thematic Analysis – this is a form of pattern recognition within the data. It provides a
simple interpretation and concise description of themes and patterns in the data set. The
general procedure involves a careful review of the raw data. You identify the themes after
coding and categorizing the data.

Steps in Thematic Analysis


1. Familiarize yourself with your data. 4. Review the themes.
2. Generate initial codes. 5. Define and name the themes.
3. Search for themes. 6. Prepare the report.
