Description:
This one-day online course covers theoretical and conceptual understandings of different qualitative data analytic approaches and explores practical steps and techniques involved in carrying out the analysis of textual qualitative data. Topics covered include: varieties of qualitative data analysis approaches (including thematic, discursive, grounded, and narrative analysis); the management, organization and preparation of data for analysis; the usefulness of computer assisted qualitative data analysis software packages; how to carry out data analysis without software packages; the principles and practice of coding, identifying themes and categories; interpretation and reflexivity; and opportunities for collaborative data analysis.
