Analysis of qualitative data. Introduction to essential analysis strategies and to MAXQDA
The workshop will be held in German
After a brief introduction to the main features of qualitative research and its quality criteria, an overview of the main evaluation techniques in qualitative social research is given. Selected evaluation strategies such as qualitative content analysis and thematic coding will then be discussed in detail.
The second half of the workshop will focus on computer-assisted analysis of qualitative data. First, the main features of the analysis software MAXQDA will be presented. This will include transcription with MAXQDA, inductive and deductive category formation with MAXQDA, simple analysis tools and mixed methods tools as well as visualisation techniques. Participants will then have the opportunity to present their own research projects and reflect on current challenges.
Note: The latest version of MAXQDA is available free of charge to all students and staff of the University of Graz via the website http://software.uni-graz.at/ and can also be installed on private computers.
