RSCH 8210K Walden University W9 Coding Categories and Themes Discussion Review your coding of your phone interview transcript. Identify two or more codes that could be grouped into a category. Next, identify samples of text you chose to define the codes.Do the same for one of the Scholars of Change videos that you coded.Consider if you can detect a theme emerging from your data analysis process. If you can identify a theme, name and describe it. If you cannot, consider why this is the case.Post an explanation of the differences between codes, categories, and themes. Provide examples from your work. Use your Learning Resources and the article you found to support your explanation. Brief Description
The selected video transcript is a narration Benjamin Isaac, a Special education
researcher who is currently pursuing a doctorate in Special education. The author attempts to
influence social change by trying to show that special needs means that the can mean
even better, more magnificent, or otherwise are different from what people recognize as usual
(Benjamin, 2016). In the video, the author uses three characters that reveal different needs, who
are Skeeter, Buzz, and Gigi. Skeeter is a character with autism, Buzz, a character with ADHD,
while Gigi modeled as a character with cerebral palsy.
Example of Codes and Respective Quotes
Quotes
“1And what if these special needs were depicted as merely mental and physical
conditions and not definitive characteristics of who these characters were.”
“2 To add authenticity to each character, I decided to have each character voiced by a
child that had that same condition.”
Codes
1: Special needs
2: Authenticity
Explanation
The reasoning behind the coding is that the code falls under the in Vivo
Coding, which intends to keep the information rooted in the authors opinion (Saldaña,
2016). Notably, the coding was “special needs,” forming the focus of the video by
Benjamin addressing special education programs. The second code focuses on the
authenticity of the video concerning the validity and reliability of information
presented by selected characters in the video.

Review your coding of your phone interview transcript. Identify two or more codes that
could be grouped into a category. Next, identify samples of text you chose to define the
codes.
Do the same for one of the Scholars of Change videos that you coded.
Consider if you can detect a theme emerging from your data analysis process. If you
can identify a theme, name and describe it. If you cannot, consider why this is the case.
