ETHICAL DIMENSIONS analysed in relation to these specific issues. Ihe pattern described above of coding and categorisation was followed in the case of longer written responses in the second cycle of research. Ihe video documentation was observed in light of the categories formed and the incidents discussed in the focus group interviews and the guestionnaires. Sections of video recording connected to significant categories were transcribed, screenshots were created to enhance further analysis. Ihe participants" additional art work was also analysed as data, coded and connected to categories. The examination of critical incidents during the drama lessons was an important part of this structure of data analysis. As creating DEs was the aim of my research all incidents within the lesson that generated intense questioning or debate were analysed and connected to various categories. I was looking for moments that created intense questioning of dominant explanations of incidents among participants in the improvisation and also those watching the scene as DEs need to create gaps for the audience as well. Identifying critical incidents was not restricted to locating DEs, as identify different connections between the two fields investigated. The critical incidents were useful as they produced connections between categories existing in practice and not only on a theoretical level. As the second cycle builds on the findings of the first, the data of the two cycles are analysed separately. The structure of reporting on the analysis relied on concepts used and explored in the data, this helps in creating a coherence between the subject of the research and the structure of the analysis. The first cycle’s analysis is based on the Bondian concept of Site, which incorporates all the other concepts used, as this cycle of research focused on integrating Bondian concepts into LTD. The analysis of data from the second cycle of research was based on breaking down the research question of that cycle into sub-questions. The rationale behind these decisions are elaborated on in the following chapter.
