This seminar-type course provides a highly interactive online teaching and learning environment, using state-of-the-art online pedagogical tools. It is designed for a demanding audience (researchers, professional analysts, advanced students) and capped at a maximum of 16 participants so that the Instructor can cater to the specific needs of each individual.
Learn how to use NVivo for conducting four popular methods of qualitative analysis widely used in the social sciences:
On the last day, we look at method integration; that is, integrating components of the four methods into a single study.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
3 credits Engage fully with class activities
4 credits Complete a post-class assignment
Marie-Hélène is a highly regarded methodologist who has NVivo Certified Platinum Trainer status. She has shared her expertise in qualitative data analysis with over 60 universities and research centres around the world, including Qatar and Iran. Since 2009, Marie-Hélène has been teaching introductory and advanced courses in qualitative data analysis at the ECPR Methods School. Her areas of methodological interest include qualitative evidence synthesis, decolonising epistemology, and participatory methodologies. Marie-Hélène is dedicated to advancing the field of qualitative data analysis and sharing her knowledge with others.
This course provides you with advanced understanding and applied skills in qualitative content analysis (Schreier, 2012), thematic analysis (Boyatzis, 1998), cross-case analysis (Miles and Huberman, 1994) and grounded theory (Strauss and Corbin, 1998) using NVivo.
It fills a critical gap in scholarly literature and graduate training by providing step-by-step guidance in how to choose sampling, code data, conduct analysis and present findings of the four methods, in a CAQDAS environment.
We dedicate Monday–Thursday to the four methods, during which you will review each method’s epistemological foundations and sampling requirements. We then proceed in NVivo and implement each method’s coding procedures, pattern-seeking techniques and visualisation styles.
On the last day, you will seek to integrate different components of the five methods into a single study, illustrating the promises, but also the potential pitfalls, of method integration.
The course ends with a workshop where you will critically review the criteria published in the qualitative literature to assess the quality of qualitative analysis. You will put forward recommendations for reporting this phase of qualitative research in theses or articles.
Outside class hours, you will be able to discuss the course content with the Teaching Assistant, and troubleshoot any problems you might have.
The course combines pre-course assignments, such as readings and pre-recorded videos, as well as daily two-hour live lectures in Zoom, during which you will interact with the Instructor and fellow participants in real time.
To prevent Zoom fatigue, the course pedagogy includes small-group work, short, focused tasks and troubleshooting exercises using a range of online apps that support collective work and engagement with the course content.
This is an advanced course. To follow it successfully, you must have a solid conceptual grounding in the foundations of qualitative analysis and be an advanced NVivo user – meaning that you can teach a crash NVivo course to colleagues.
In class, you should be able to create codes and relationships, work with cases and attributes, create sets, run queries, generate maps and set-up framework matrices independently. The course Introduction to NVivo will give you sufficient knowledge to follow this course.
This course uses the latest version of NVivo R1 for Mac and Windows. You must run this version to attend the course since previous versions (10 or 12) have different interfaces. If your institution does not provide you with an NVivo R1 license, you can download the NVivo R1 14-day free trial. The trial is fully operational, but can't be reinstalled on a same computer once it expires.
Mac users must be warned that NVivo for Mac does not currently have all the functionalities of NVivo for Windows. If you are a Mac user and want to learn all the functionalities taught on this course, you must attend using a PC.
