Computer assisted qualitative and quantitative analysis of qualitative data

Friday 16/05 16:00-19:00h
Workshop Space A
Session Description

In the academic community, data triangulation is seen as one of the criteria that ensures high quality and robustness of research. This means that researchers have to deal with qualitative data (e.g. text, visual, and audio data) at least to some extent. There exist various software packages for computer assisted analysis of such data, but training opportunities on using them are scarce or costly. The proposed workshop will provide the participants with essential practical skills of using one of the most convenient software packages for qualitative and mixed methods research, namely, MAXQDA. This software is also extremely useful in conducting literature reviews, which is part of every PhD student’s path, so having a tool that can save time and improve reliability of complex theoretical findings (also empirical findings when empirical data is considered) is of essence.
