set of data and looking for patterns in the meaning of the data to find themes. It is

an active process of reflexivity in which the researcher’s subjective experience is

at the center of making sense of the data. The analysis will involve identifying

and categorizing themes and patterns in the data. The data will be coded and

analyzed using the transcription that will be done by the researchers. The

analysis will be conducted by ten researchers, and inter-rater reliability will be

established.
