The Qualitative Analysis: Coding group session will introduce you to qualitative data analysis through the process of coding and support you in optimizing your use of NVivo. During this session, you will be introduced to the key characteristics and types of coding. You will learn about the purpose and importance of coding and how to outline the factors that determine the design of a coding scheme. This session will help you develop an understanding of how categories and emergent themes can be derived from the analysis. This session is primarily intended for graduate students pursuing a master’s or doctoral degree.
Monday 4:00 p.m.
NVivo is a qualitative analysis software that is helpful for working with various amounts and types of data. You can use this software to organize your project, manage and code your data, and visually display your results. This session will provide a foundational understanding of NVivo. By the end of the session, you will understand how to start a new project, where to go to add your data sources, and how to move from raw data to codes. Learners will learn key strategies for the preparation and organization of data prior to beginning analysis to ensure that the end result is indicative of the goals for the study presented in Chapter 3. Additionally, the session will touch on identifying themes and using NVivo to support your analytical work!
