| DESCRIPTION | Qualitative data analysis can be a very daunting task without the help of any analysis software. NVivo™ is a software application that simplifies qualitative data analysis, supporting text, multimedia, pictures, and PDFs; open-ended surveys from Excel and Survey Monkey among the many more data formats. NVivo™ supports a range of inductive and deductive methods for qualitative data analysis such as thematic and content analysis, within and cross-case analysis and many more. The workshop covers the key steps involved in qualitative data analysis using QSR NVivo™ starting with data types and the creation of an NVivo™ project, the uploading of data, data coding, code categorizations, query building and interpretation of output from queries. No prerequisite knowledge of NVivo™ is required. Outcomes: By the end of this workshop, doctoral researchers should: - locate the diverse features and capabilities of NVivo™ Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) - understand the nature of the different data types that call for qualitative analysis and how NVivo™ can help in this process - undertake coding on text data using NVivo™ to create a structure of nodes - keep memos and a journal during NVivo™ work - build and conduct queries using NVivo™’s query generating capabilities - understand the output of NVivo™ queries - construct models from coded data - create other forms of data analysis output such as word clouds and cluster analysis - understand the limitations of NVivo™ software as well as the precautions analysts need to adopt during the use of NVivo™ |
