Marie-Hélène is dedicated to advancing the field of qualitative data analysis and sharing her knowledge with others.
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 present your analysis plan at the Masterclass on Friday (highly recommended!)
The course includes a rich and diverse mix of online teaching techniques that includes elevator pitch, talk-to-text technique, study groups, debates and pre-recordings. The daily three-hour live session in Zoom are intertwined with hands-on exercises and group work, during which you will work on your own research and have the opportunity to troubleshoot any issue you may have with regard to the analysis of your data, or data analysis generally.
The instructor will also conduct live Q&A sessions for one-to-one consultations.
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.
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.
As a participant in this course, you will engage in a variety of learning activities designed to deepen your understanding and mastery of the subject matter. While the cornerstone of your learning experience will be the daily live teaching sessions, which total three hours each day across the five days of the course, your learning commitment extends beyond these sessions.
Upon payment and registration for the course, you will gain access to our Learning Management System (LMS) approximately two weeks before the course start date. Here, you will have access to course materials such as pre-course readings. The time commitment required to familiarise yourself with the content and complete any pre-course tasks is estimated to be approximately 20 hours per week leading up to the start date.
During the course week, you are expected to dedicate approximately two-three hours per day to prepare and work on assignments.
Each course offers the opportunity to be awarded three ECTS credits. Should you wish to earn a 4th credit, you will need to complete a post-course assignment, which will involve approximately 25 hours of work.
This comprehensive approach ensures that you not only attend the live sessions but also engage deeply with the course material, participate actively, and complete assessments to solidify your learning.
This course description may be subject to subsequent adaptations (e.g. taking into account new developments in the field, participant demands, group size, etc.). Registered participants will be informed at the time of change.
By registering for this course, you confirm that you possess the knowledge required to follow it. The instructor will not teach these prerequisite items. If in doubt, please contact us before registering.
