They are supported through a Virtual Learning Environment including resources for ongoing support and recommendations for self-directed learning. The workshops can be run face-to-face, online via webinar or as a blend of these two. The workshops are not focussed on any one particular topic, area, method or discipline but are designed to show how NVivo can support research across diverse approaches, methodologies and types of qualitative data used in the social sciences and humanities. Who are these for?Īnyone engaging in qualitative research or reviewing literature for postgraduate research study or post-doctoral work. You will be introduced to the tools and ways of working to support data management, recording your developing ideas, keeping a research journal, annotating, coding, linking and exploring both text and multimedia data, and ways of using the powerful search, query and visualisation tools. These workshops introduce you to using and working with NVivo to support you across all the stages of qualitative research and analysis, as well as considering ways of using the software to support reading, annotating, critically reviewing and synthesising research literature into your project. Using NVivo for qualitative data analysis and literature synthesisĪ series of workshops for postgraduate research students and research staff exploring how to use NVivo for literature reviews and qualitative data analysis. CAQDAS are basically data management packages, which support the researcher during analysis.I offer on-site training for Masters-level and PhD students as well as research active staff. In other words, researchers must equally know that no software can analyse qualitative data. The key message is that unlike statistical software, the main function of CAQDAS is not to analyse data but rather to aid the analysis process, which the researcher must always remain in control of. In this paper, the author reflects on his experience of interacting with one of the popular CAQDAS (NVivo) in order to provide evidence-based implications of using the software. While the issue of mastering CAQDAS has received ample attention, little has been done to address the misconceptions associated with CAQDAS. This may be due to the difficulties that one has to go through to master the software and the misconceptions that are associated with using CAQDAS. Although the CAQDAS has been there for decades, very few qualitative health researchers report using it. However, Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) are increasingly being developed.
For a long time, electronic data analysis has been associated with quantitative methods.
