Homework: Qualitative Research
A brief qualitative transcript analysis
Go to the Living on Earth (LOE -- Public Radio's Environmental New Magazine) website (select the topic the Plastic Bag Bans and Pushback ). Find an aired and transcribed LOE interview that interests you. The length of the aired interview should be at least 5 min but no more than 20 min. There are many topics available.
Once you have picked an interview that interests you, then do a quick quick qualitative analysis for this interview transcript as your Written Homework.
This Homework is expected to be about 2 pages and include the following:
I. Write a brief introduction to the interview you selected:
1. What is the topic of the interview?
2. Who is the host/interviewer?
3. Who is the guest/interviewee? What is her/his/their background?
4. What is the URL where the interview is located?
Remember to use complete sentences when you write this section
II. Analysis of important themes and subthemes in the transcript:
You have flexibility on how to identify and present themes and subthemes of your interview. You need to identify themes/subthemes at least two levels. One analysis example is illustrated in Table 2 (p. 118) of Thind et al. (2019) article entitled
"I can do almost anything". In this table, Dr. Thind & colleagues have analyzed themes and subthemes on the benefits of yoga at two levels.
You can also write a summary narrative and incorporate a presentation of identified themes/subthemes in a bulleted list. In this bulleted list, you can give selected examples of direct quotes that match your themes/subthemes. If you like, you can illustrate themes and subthemes in a diagram. If you use a table or diagram for your theme analysis, remember to provide a clear table/diagram caption.
