Using NVivo 11 for your Literature Review and Qualitative Research Project
- in Kooperation mit dem Kompetenzzentrum für empirische Forschungsmethoden -
The purpose of this training is to familiarise participants with a particular software package: NVivo 11. NVivo is a software that helps in organizing and analysing of unstructured information as a basis for research and managerial decision-making. The software provides a workspace to help at every stage of a project - from organizing the material, through to analysis, and then sharing and reporting. It is independent of the materials, field of study or methodological approach.
Objectives of NVivo are to support in
- Spending more time on analysis and discovery, not administrative tasks
- Working systematically and ensuring not to miss anything in the data
- Interrogating information and uncovering subtle connections in ways that simply aren’t possible manually
- Rigorously justifying findings with evidence
- Managing all the material in one project file
- Working with material in own language
- Sharing work with others
Target Group
Researchers interested in using software for qualitative or mixed-methods research projects as well as for literature reviews, at every phase of their research.
The workshop will NOT cover any methodology but the software’s functionality.
Objectives
After the workshop, participants know the main aspects and functionalities of NVivo. In particular, they are able to set up a project, bring in material, organize material, analyse material and produce an outcome.
Furthermore, they are able to bring in qualitative data from social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) as well use other software such as reference tools (Endnote, RefWorks, etc.) in combination with NVivo.
Content and Method
The workshop will be held as a hands-on software course. In the first part of each day the functionalities of the software will be discussed. In the second part, each participant individually works on her/his project with the support from the trainer.
Day 1 – General overview, presentation of software and its main aspects
- Introduction and overview
- The NVivo 11 Structure: The Workspace and the Navigation View
- Hands-On: Creating a project and navigating around a project
- Sources - Organizing:
- Hands-On: Importing and transcribing documents, videos, audio files and images, working with external data, exporting sources
- Reflection
- Hands-On: Creating memos and annotations
- Coding – Organizing and Reflecting
- Hands-On: Coding and working with the node system: creating nodes, coding (different ways to code including auto coding, coding data including documents, videos, audio files and images), viewing the content of nodes in various ways, uncoding and ‘coding on’, working with coding stripes, moving, sorting and merging nodes, exporting nodes, strategies for creating node, building efficient node hierarchies
- Linking: Connecting from project items to external data
- Individual work on projects
Day 2 – Specific projects and analysis
- Classification
- Hands-On: Creating classifications and attributes and assigning values
- Analysis support – Queries and Visualizations
- Hands-On: Grouping and exploring data, finding project items (simple, advanced and grouped find), queries (word frequency, coding, matrix coding and compound queries)
- Hands-On: Modelling / Visualization
- Organizing and sharing Nvivo projects: sharing files and findings (with and without Nvivo)
- Individual work on projects
