A quick guide to Thematic Analysis

Sample Transcription:
Participant: LANCE CAJAROP
Interviewee: Before the pandemic, how did you imagine yourself taking experiential learning
courses?
Participant: An my first impression on field study 1 and 2, I imagine myself observing the real
class situation especially in the laboratory school, I imagine na makadto kme talaga,
mag oobserve han mga teachers, magkikita kun mag-aano ngan kun ano an
hihimuon during the real class scenario.
Interviewee: When field study and teaching internships resorted to online, did you still feel the
same excitement you had before the pandemic?
Participant: so to be honest, im not that excited kay ever since first year, we have expected na
maging face to face tanan na processes ha teaching internship, we are looking
forward to teach students ha ILS or ha gawas han school, upod na gihap dida na
magkamay-ada kami uniform, but since waray, no choice man kami, but still were
thankful to have given an opportunity to teach online, bagat naging okay nala liwat
pero initially I was not excited.
Interviewee: What did you feel when you are informed that experiential learning courses would
happen online in laboratory school and why?
Participant: to be honest I felt relieved, before mag start an amun internship it was said na pwede
kami iggawas pero online gihapon, pero since waray mn kadayon maupay nala na
dida la kami ha laboratory school, kay comfortable lugod na magteach since ada la
kita haat comfort zone.
Interviewee:Tell me your experiences in your journey during the first online field study courses
and inline teaching internships courses in the laboratory school.
Participant: Busy kami, ha field study 1 and 2. Ha field study 1 more on recitation kami kan
professor Embog and we have a lot of modules to pass, to submit. Ha field study 2
more on practical knowledge, skills development, especially when it comes to
creating lesson plan, instructional materials, so more on application of skills and we
also experience teaching demonstration kan maam Estolano. For teaching internship

Notes on this transcription: Transcriptions must be justified.

-Proceed-

Step one: Line Numbering. Numbers in lines of the respondent are used to identify which
number a certain answer or line falls unto. With a justified transcription, it ensures that
answers of the respondents are not being cut, less, etc. (Q1. stands for Question No. 1.)

Sample Transcribed Data Table.

Notes on this data sample: Its line or answer numbering is not by sentences, but
rather by paragraph, for starters, numbering by sentences (like the sample
transcription above) makes the work easier in specifying lines or answers, most
especially if there are multiple items of questions and answers in a single page.

Step two: Transcribing Data Table. In this this step take note of the following.
Page - states the page number where the line/answer and textual data is located.
Line – states the number of the line (answer) of the respondent fall into.
Textual Data – contains the answer of the respondent from a specific question.
Code – states the whole idea of the answer, usually the code states or contains the idea
of the answer on the notion “what is being answered or answer given in the question.”

An my first impression on field study 1 and 2, I imagine

myself observing the real class situation especially in the Experiential
1 1-4 laboratory school, I imagine na makadto kme talaga, mag Learning Courses

So to be honest, im not that excited kay ever since first year,

we have expected na maging face to face tanan na
processes ha teaching internship, we are looking forward to
Reaction on online
teach students ha ILS or ha gawas han school, upod na
1 5-10 field study and
gihap dida na magkamay-ada kami uniform, but since waray,
teaching internships
no choice man kami, but still were thankful to have given an
opportunity to teach online, bagat naging okay nala liwat
pero initially I was not excited.

To be honest I felt relieved, before mag start an amun (kuya jo, I can’t quite
internship it was said na pwede kami iggawas pero online decide for a code, bagat
1 11-14 gihapon, pero since waray mn kadayon maupay nala na dida identical answer kasi

magteach since ada la kita haat comfort zone.

Busy kami, ha field study 1 and 2. Ha field study 1 more on

recitation kami kan professor Embog and we have a lot of
modules to pass, to submit. Ha field study 2 more on
practical knowledge, skills development, especially when it

more on application of skills and we also experience

Extra information:
For interpretation and summarization of data, codes serves as the basis for your
interpretation and summarization of all answers of your respondents. A table presentation
for each code is preferable. For example:

General Notes:
1. Anything taught in this quick guide is humbly verified, anything unrelated or different
from what’s been taught by your professor can be acceptably disregarded (as to line
numbering, justified format of transcriptions, the interpretation of data).
2. Some transcriptions contain typos, but that can be fixed. Suggestion, all transcription
should follow the same format (font style, font size, spacing, paper size), incase you are
to be required in submitting these transcription (from personal experience, it is required
and included in the appendices of your research paper).
3. Any information shared in realization of this guide is granted with confidence.
4. Hope this guide helps. Fighting!
