Hi all

I’m in stage of analysing my research questionnaire which includes five open ended questions. Open ended questions been analysed using “thematic analysis method” which ended with many themes.

The question is, is it valid to convert these themes to multiple choice close questions and deal with them as the rest of questionnaire close ended questions? Any evidence to support!

I hope I'm understanding you clearly. No, I don't think it is myself. Your participants were never asked those questions, so you can't develop new multiple choice questions from the same data and automatically answer them with that exact data. It is probably better to modify the questionnaire based on your findings so far and then administer it to a new round of participants.

Thanks Walminskipeas… for quick response, you understood the question and you point is reasonable.
