Analyzing observational and interview data
exploring how children negotiate and perform gender in school playgrounds using thematic analysis
This dataset serves as a pedagogical tool for teaching the practical application of thematic analysis in organizing and interpreting qualitative data. It is provided by Dr. Marios Kostas from Canterbury Christ Church University and originates from a multimethod qualitative study examining how children negotiate and perform gender in school playgrounds. Data were collected through unstructured observations and semistructured interviews with 80 pupils (40 boys and 40 girls) from two state-funded primary schools in Athens. The interview excerpts offer insight into how boys and girls understand and negotiate gender, while the observational data reveal the complex interplay of playground-gendered power relations and highlight crucial gender asymmetries in primary school-aged girls' and boys' games. Together, these data sources offer valuable opportunities for students to gain hands-on experience in conducting qualitative data analysis using thematic analysis. The dataset file is accompanied by a teaching guide and a student guide.
