NVivo Overview
6
Before we start…
What is qualitative analysis?
What are themes?
What is a node?
What is a code?
What is coding?
7
Basic vocabulary
Qualitative analysis
Identification, examination and interpretation of themes in the data to
answer research questions.
Themes
Patterns in the data
Nodes (also called codes!)
Usually a word or short phrase that captures the essence or salient
attributes of a portion of data.
Coding
Process of assigning nodes to data
8
NVivo: Introduction
Create a new project.
Your research question is: What do you think about
the course?
Create three data sources, corresponding to three
different people, located in two different regions.
9
Testing your performance…
10
Did you establish a naming
convention for the data sources?
NVivo: Introduction
How do you code inductively?
Emergent themes
How do you code deductively?
Theory-based
11
NVivo: Introduction
Code your data sources inductively.
Create a coding scheme (or code book).
Share your work with a colleague.
Is the coding clear?
What is the data (of your colleague) telling you? How do
you know? Give examples.
12
NVivo: Intermediate
Open the practice project.
How many sources were obtained via skype
interviews?
Who has conducted the most skype interviews?
(use a chart)
What is the problem? How do you solve it?
13
NVivo: Intermediate
What are the main pre-course expectations? (use a
tree map)
How many items were coded with this node?
How many people talk about their teams? (use a
text search)
How many people with little experience with online
learning talk about their teams?
14
NVivo: Intermediate
Run a word frequency query.
What is the problem?
Run a matrix coding query of experience vs
expectations.
What is the trick?

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Comfort breaks every hour
  • #9 Six people know nothing about coding.
  • #21 There is no need to fill the silence with “ehm”, “uhm” or words that don’t contribute to your message (“like”, “you know”). It is ok to stop, think, order your ideas and then talk again.
  • #22 What happens if you remain quiet for 5 seconds when talking to someone? You may be surprise to discover that… nothing really happens, except, maybe, that you will feel more comfortable with the silence.
  • #23 This is related to accessibility. Having a slide with a bunch of text or a diagram for the audience to read/see, excludes people who cannot see it. Maybe someone needs glasses, forgot them and is sitting at the end of the room. Describing what is on your slide will help people with visual impairments not to miss out on anything important.
  • #24 Sometimes you don’t want to read every single part of a diagram or graph. You don’t have to. Just focus on the main elements to ensure the audience knows the purpose of having that diagram or graph in your presentation.
  • #25 Changing the tone of your voice helps attract people’s attention. It is not about being loud and cheerful all the time. It is about making changes. High, low, stop…
  • #26 Try recording yourself and listening to your voice. Did it change? Was it a monotone?
  • #27 How can you transmit passion? Yes! With your voice! And also, with your body. Move your hands, walk around, smile.
  • #28 For the untrained eye, that is a paper clip… but for those who know better, it is a device that can change your world… …If you manage to transmit passion for something as simple as a paper clip, you will surely be able to transmit passion about your research or your studies.
  • #29 People listening to a presentation will rarely remember absolutely everything you say. Thus, you need to be aware of the message you want to transmit. If you don’t know what this message is, it is likely that your audience will not know either. So try summarising your presentation in 3-5 key sentences. If people sleep during your whole presentation and wake up only at the end, what should they know?
