Análise temática de dados qualitativos: uma proposta prática para efetivação.

Thematic Analysis is one of several possibilities for analyzing qualitative data. The reflection carried out in this study is an unprecedented contribution to the effectiveness of Thematic Analysis, especially by researchers in the beginning of qualitative research. The proposed Thematic Analysis is guided by seven stages, the first three being preliminary or approaching the phenomenon. The steps suggested for analysis include: data collection, literal transcription of the data, environment with the data (familiarize), accommodation of the data in an analysis instrument (accommodation of the fragments of the speech), identification of context units, nuclei of meaning and themes. Performed in this way, it may facilitate the journey of the novice researcher. The implementation of the reasoning proposed in this study may facilitate and assist the researcher in conducting paths that make the submission of qualitative data to Thematic Analysis simpler and more practical.
