"More Than Meets The Eye" Animated VR Experience

Defined and refined themes today and created a venn style map to show the progress from data extracts>initial codes > data codes > candidate themes > sub-themes > themes Revised and defined theme names (Sally B - participant 1): Sight-Loss as a Creative Advantage Creative connections in VR for artists with sight-loss Art materials and methods for visually impaired creative practitioners Physical and psychological barriers for artists with sight-loss

Phase 3: Searching for themes. "Phase 3 begins when all data have been initially coded and collated. This phase re-focuses the analysis at the border level of themes, rather than codes, involves sorting the different codes into potential themes, and collating all the relevant coded data extracts within the identified themes. Essentially, you are starting to analyse your codes and consider how different codes may combine to form an overarching theme."

Thematic Analysis Lecture - Part 1   https://youtu.be/Lor1A0kRIKU Notes: Reflexive TA - what is it? Look at  https://www.psych.auckland.ac.nz/en/about/thematic-analysis.html Reference procedures and methodological literature Typology clustered TA approaches into three broad types 1) Coding Reliability 2) Codebook 3) Reflexive. Coding Reliability applies a small 'q' of approach of data collection, meaning it uses qualitative techniques with a positivist (relying on scientific evidence) paradigm, largely driven by a desire to demonstrate coding reliability. Codebook would include definition of themes exclusive and inclusive criteria, which would be looked at before looking at the data and then applied to the data. Multiple researchers and coders would work independently and there would be a measure of comparability as coders would moderate their combined results or similar outcomes. The coding is structured but without concerns around reliability. Reflexive TA...
