Abstract
This chapter describes and defends the Thematic Analysis and the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) used in the research design. In the Thematic Analysis, a total of 1812 responses were generated from the question posed on ResearchGate: What skills must 21st century teachers have to promote high quality learning? From these responses, 200 posts were analysed. In the Comparative Analysis these responses were compared to a select group of Big Thinkers.
