- 2. I did a lot of messing about… Manually Other software NVivo8 Microsoft Word 2
- 3. Session outline • Who are they? Why are they here? • What will you do? • Analysing some data • Preparing the data • Making a coding document • Creating something – a ‘how to’ guide? 3
- 5. A workshop for you… & why Who are are they they? here? 5
- 6. What will you do? Flickr: ejhogbin 6
- 7. We are already familiar with it… Flickr: Joe Shlabotnik …so analysis is easier? 7
- 8. It’s all in the prep! • Transcribe in Word = no import/export issues • !!!New paragraph for every change in speaker: 8
- 9. It’s all in the prep! Click… 9
- 10. Data sorted The start of your coding document 10
- 11. Coding • Add columns for codes Also useful to add a column to number the data so it’s easier to find 11
- 12. Coding Highlight column, click on numbering some things might work better as comments Numbers (track useful for changes) linking excerpts 12
- 13. Hints & Tips from Twitter @amyfielden83: Very obvious one, but using the highlight function in various colours to distinguish codes! @amyfielden83: Comment function is great for initial coding, and note taking on transcripts! 13
- 14. Table of codes (authorities) • Alphabetical listing • Shortcut (alt+shift+I) • Hide codes (ctrl+shift+8) • Insert table of authorities Add categories e.g. Level 1, Level 2, interpretative repertoires, canonical narratives 14
- 15. Other referencing functions 15
- 16. Keeping the data whole • Narrative and discursive approaches Could use table Highlighting, font, of contents for bold, italics etc sequential list Track changes 16
- 17. Flickr: osde8info Simple & obvious Skill many people have Visual/audio (see Hahn 2008) More complex NVivo8, MS Excel, ATLAS.ti Access 17
- 18. Some useful resources • Hahn, C. (2008) Doing Qualitative Research Using Your Computer, A practical Guide, London: Sage • La Pelle, N. (2004) Simplifying Qualitative Data Analysis Using General Purpose Software Tools, Field Methods, 16, p. 85 – 108 18
