“…Thematic content analysis was used as a form of data analysis and involved looking at the raw data and identifying any trends, themes and ideas that arose in the interviews with the participants (Vaughn & Turner, 2016). The data analysis interpreted the responses of the participants and framed them into categories, themes and concepts to explain the raw data in detail.…”

Given the 2018 decriminalization of marijuana in South Africa for personal use and medicinal consumption, the aim of this research was to explore the perceptions of university students regarding the use, impact, legalization, and decriminalization of marijuana. Key findings revealed that a fair number of participants acknowledged using marijuana. When asked about the potential impact of marijuana on users, their families and significant others, they seemed to have a good understanding of the effects of the drug. However, while some participants were aware of the addictive nature of marijuana, others were not aware of the risk of addiction from smoking or ingesting this substance. However, they were able to weigh up the risks as well as the benefits of legalization/decriminalization of marijuana. This study has implications for health care professionals working with youth who use illicit substances such as marijuana, and in developing prevention and intervention programs aimed at the youth.

This descriptive study analyzes results from an 18-item survey that assessed students' usage and perceptions of library reference services at a comprehensive public metropolitan university. Among 235 surveys completed between November 2016 and January 2017, the majority of respondents represented the "Generation Z" population of college students, 18 to 24 years of age. Quantitative and qualitative findings revealed patterns of reference service usage, perceptions of librarians, and barriers and facilitators to seeking help from a librarian. These findings can inform decision making to improve marketing and outreach to students regarding general reference services, reference models, and liaison roles.

“…By using Survey Monkey"s Categorize feature, the researcher was able to categorize and analyse participants" responses. Survey Monkey"s Text analysis tool has proven to be an effective tool for creating and coding open-ended items in a questionnaire (Vaughn and Turner, 2016;Nelson, 2016;Patterson, 2016). In order to theme the participants" responses, the researcher assigned codes to their responses.…”

The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for shaping the focus and content of Cross-Cultural Orientation and Training (CCOT) programs for expatriate academics in higher education institutions (HEIs) in the UAE. The research design used for the study was the mixed method approach using a sequential technique. A total of 324 expatriate academics employed in three HEIs in the UAE responded to the questionnaire, and 57 of them participated in face-to-face interviews. Pearson product moment correlation, multiple regression, ANOVA, Survey Monkey's categorize feature (text analysis), and content analysis approach (general inductive approach)were employed in analyzing the data. The results of this study confirmed that CCOT programs made a significant unique contribution to expatriate academics' cross cultural adjustment and their intention stay. The findings also revealed that five distinct content areas were identified by incumbent expatriate academics as being the most important content areas to be included in any CCOT program. The scope of each content area is explained and discussed in this paper. In many instances, these five content areas overlap in regards to the issues that they address, and are in some cases interrelated. Although the purpose of this study is not to generalize, the researcher suggests future research involving host country nationals, students, faculty recruitment specialists, and CCOT specialists or consultants. By expanding the sample size and including various parties or stakeholders including different methodologies for data collection, this topic can be explored further, and the range of issues discussed in this paper can be expanded.
