Description
Summary:This case study describes the stages involved in designing a research project including the rationale for the type of data to collect (qualitative), the approach used to gather data (semi-structured interviews), and the method utilized to analyze the data (thematic analysis). This case study then explores the importance of information sheets, participant consent forms, and the challenges researchers can experience when recruiting participants for their research projects. Reflection on action is highlighted as being an important concept for researchers in this section of the case study. Four of the key stages used when utilizing thematic analysis are then described so that new researchers can operationalize this approach in their own projects. The final section considers the significant lessons learnt (from the researcher perspective) having carried out the research described in this case study.
