Qualitative Data Analysis Workshops -- Spring 2021

Planning Qualitative Data Analysis
There are many tools and strategies for qualitative data analysis, but which approach you take depends on your research question and methodology. In this interactive workshop, we'll talk though the specifics of your research project to make a plan for qualitative data analysis that helps you meet your goals.

By the end of the workshop, we expect you'll be able to:

  1. analyze your research project to articulate your goals for your qualitative data analysis
  2. use your goals and methodological approach to develop a data analysis plan
  3. decide what qualitative data analysis (including CAQDAS software) are needed for your research plan.

  1. Install Taguette or access the web-based version of the program 
  2. Import textual qualitative data into Taguette
  3. Code your data using Taguette
  4. Export your coded data and codebook for further analysis.
