Question 8

An educational psychologist wanted to investigate how Year 13 students experience the transition to self-directed study. She decided to conduct semi-structured interviews with a sample of students from various sixth-form colleges. The goal was to allow students to speak openly and in depth about their academic adjustments.

Two of the questions she asked were:

  • 'Describe the most challenging aspects of transitioning from structured classroom learning to independent study.'
  • 'Tell me about any strategies or resources that have been particularly effective in helping you adapt.'

Explain how the researcher could use thematic analysis to analyse the qualitative data collected from these interviews.
