Qualitative coding and analysis of textual data with ATLAS.ti

Introduction

This workshop explains the general principles of qualitative coding and analysis of textual data, and the application of these principles in the program ATLAS.ti.

In qualitative research, coding is like giving tags (or labels) to pieces of texts, images, videos or audio material as a way to yield a systematic understanding of the contents of the data. Programs such as ATLAS.ti facilitate and systematize this coding process and the analysis of the resulting collective of codes.

This workshop is accessible to researchers who are not too familiar with qualitative coding and analysis with ATLAS.ti. While the workshop assumes an introductory entry level, we will be able to discuss and practice all coding and analysis functionalities in ATLAS.ti that you need for a scientific qualitative study.

Please note that this workshop is an extended version on the ATLAS.ti practicum offered in the course Qualitative Data Analysis with Grounded Theory. Specifically, the latter course and this workshop are based on the same video tutorial.

However, even if you already attended the Grounded Theory course, you can still attend this workshop if you like to spend more time with others discussing, exercising and reflecting on qualitative coding and analysis.
