In this paper, we provide researchers with an understanding of different approaches to TA and offer practical gui...

In this paper, we provide researchers with an understanding of different approaches to TA and offer practical guidance on conducting a blended approach to TA, which combines the strengths of different TA approaches. Despite their prevalence in the literature, blended approaches to TA are rarely clearly illustrated in research publications. To address this gap, we present a detailed case study of a blended approach to TA, based on a qualitative study exploring the experiences of incarcerated fathers participating in a prison family program in the Netherlands. This case study offers researchers practical guidance for thoughtfully implementing a blended approach to TA in their own work. It also highlights the nuances and complexities of a blended approach to TA, emphasizing the importance of aligning the chosen TA approach to the research context and objectives. We conclude by discussing the value of blended approaches to TA in qualitative research, underscoring the importance of thoughtful application and transparent reporting of these approaches. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
