Are you planning to conduct interviews or focus groups for your data collection, or perhaps collect policy papers or social media data from blogs, Facebook or Twitter? After you complete your data collection, you will sooner or later have to confront the mass of data you gathered and analyse your material.
But will you know how?
This course provides strategic understanding of, and applied skills in, planning, conducting and reporting qualitative data analysis in one’s research. You will learn the key concepts that underlie the process of qualitative analysis, which often go missing in qualitative research seminars, and are rarely discussed in mainstream qualitative methods textbooks, such as:
You will explore these topics and more and get to put them into practice during hands-on sessions using NVivo.
You'll be able to work on your own data, discuss your research design and, with help from the Teaching Assistant, troubleshoot problems with your analysis. You can also present your analysis plan at the Masterclass.
The course combines asynchronous pre-class assignments, such as readings and pre-recorded videos, as well as daily two-hour live sessions with Zoom. 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 content.
A basic understanding of qualitative research is required, however, previous knowledge of qualitative data analysis or NVivo is not required.
This course teaches only NVivo's basic features. For a comprehensive NVivo course, take our Introduction to NVivo course.
You must run the latest versions of NVivo (R1 or 14) to attend the course as earlier versions (10 or 12) have different interfaces and menus. If your institution does not provide you with an NVivo license, you can download the NVivo 14-day free trial. The trial is fully operational but can't be reinstalled on the same computer once expired.
