Although thematic analysis shares similarities with other methodologies that have systematic processes for analyzing data such as Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis or grounded theory, it does not “require the detailed theoretical and technological knowledge” of these approaches (Braun and Clarke, Qualitative Research in Psychology 3:77–101, 2006).
American Psychological Association.) highlighted that thematic analysis is “an accessible, flexible, and increasingly popular method of qualitative data analysis” (p. Cooper (Ed.), APA Handbook of Research Methods in Psychology (vol.2) (pp. As qualitfvecome more accepted across social science disciplines and now across health professions education, the need for systematic methods to analyze qualitative sets is more accentuated (Castleberry and Nolen, Currents in Pharmacy Teaching and Learning 10:807–815, 2018).
The software has many features that can assist to simplify the whole process of doing qualitative research.Thematic analysis is a method of qualitative data analysis that was first described in the 1970s (Joffe, Harper and Thompson (eds), Qualitative Research Methods in Mental Health and Psychotherapy: A Guide for Students and Practitioners, Wiley-Blackwell, 2012) but became more prominent at the end of the 1990s with researchers such as Boyatzis ( 1998) and Hayes ( 1997) (as cited in Braun, V., & Clarke, V. NVivo is designed for qualitative researchers working with very rich text-based and/or multimedia information, where deep levels of analysis on small or large volumes of data are required. This course aims to build the capacity of qualitative researchers in qualitative data management and analysis using NVivo software. Qualitative researchers now have the option to apply computer technology in their approach for data management and analysis to ease the complexity of the research process.
Qualitative data is multifaceted, rich in nature, unstructured and at times can be overwhelming. Managing and analyzing qualitative data can be a trying experience. "Managing and analyzing qualitative data can be a trying experience."Ĭourse DescriptionMost research activities nowadays employ the use of mixed methods that embrace both qualitative and quantitative data.
