Both researchers read the full interview transcripts (referring to all 13 questions) numerous times and wrote down initial codes for each segment. Data reduction took place by creating a file ("the metacognition file") that consisted of the full responses to the metacognitive question (#10) and all the segments from responses to other questions that belonged to the "metacognition" code.

Then both researchers read the metacognition file numerous times and coded it to create thematic sub-files that were then analyzed using a narrative approach.
