Analyzing qualitative data is essential for (1) refining future data collection to ensure you are gathering data aligned with your research questions, and (2) writing up your findings. This session will help you turn an overwhelming process into a focused process. We will help you understand what you are supposed to do, and we will guide you through the process of how to complete the various cycles of coding and identifying themes. We will also help you manage your mindset so that you can overcome limiting beliefs and gain confidence. For the digital tools’ demonstration, we will show how Citavi can be integrated with NVivo and how NVivo can be used for your coding strategy.
