QuestionsQuestions

Lyn Richards, 2006

Type of question ApproachAbout meaning (e.g. What is the meaning of.?) andabout the core or essence of phenomena or experiences

Phenomenology

Observational questions (e.g. What are the behaviouralpatterns of ..?) and descriptive questions about values,beliefs, and practices of a cultural group (What is goingon here?)

Ethnography

Process questions about changing experience over timeor its stages and phases (e.g. What is the process ofbecoming..?) or understanding questions (e.g. what arethe dimensions of this experience..?)

Groundedtheory

Questions directly asserted in applied or policy research,where specific information is needed from the data. Themethods will be less inductive, more deductive.

How NVIVO 9 can helpHow NVIVO 9 can helpPart 1 of the course:1.Store, manage ,link documents and ideas

within an NVIVO software project2.Code documents at nodes and code

on/refine your coding3.Memo your ideas about the data/documents4.Move between the nodes and the document

detail

5.Shape the project with classifications toassign e.g. demographic categories;6.Tree node structures to reflect your project

design

SourcesSources

o Sources =the project items that are your research materials

o Internals are imported or created in your NVIVO project

o Externals represent data you dont of cant import

o Memos for your writing about your data and analysis process

o You can create sub-folders to suit your project purposes to helporganise your sources

P Clarke, 201127

Classifications & attributesClassifications & attributeso Classifications provide a way to record descriptive information

about the sources and nodes in your project:

o Source classifications are related to predefined characteristicse.g. bibliographic categories

o Node classifications are for e.g. socio-demographiccharacteristics e.g. gender, education levels, region etc

characteristics that can help you organise and analysise.g. Source classifications may include

Interviews, focus groups, journal articles etc Node classification my include

persons organisations

Classifications my have particular attributes e.g. Interview: interviewer, year Person: age, education, gender

Attributes may have values e.g. female, male

Activity 8: Create memosActivity 8: Create memosWrite a memo about a source of a node or your coding at a

node1. E.g. Write a memo about what you learnt from the interview

with Charles.To do this:2. In the List view right click on that interviews name-

(Charles).3. Select Memo link to Link to New Memo . Name the

memo and in the open blank memo, if you Ctrl-Shift-T itadds the date and time each time you write for audit trailpurpose. Then write some text.

4. The memo is linked to the source and is stored in:Sources> Memos .

[Alternate method: from within the open source right click then Links > Memo link > Link to new memo]

5. Memos can record process, insights and help inform your writing about your research.

Activity 9: Create annotationsActivity 9: Create annotationsWrite an annotation as a (foot)-note/ reminder

1. The pale blue highlight text indicates annotations footnotes/margin scribbles which are stored separately

2. To Read annotations: with document open , go to View >Annotation and tick then the annotation field opens at thebottom of the Detail view. Highlight the blue text to see the

specific annotation. If there is more than one or theannotation number in the field.3. To write an annotation: In Charles > highlight some text >

Right click > Links > Annotation > New Annotation .4. An annotation field will open at the bottom of the

document. Write a note there. *

What have we learnt?What have we learnt?

So far we have learnt how to:1. Import or create documents2. Auto-code nodes based on structured

data collection3. Work with classifications4. Set up coding structures relevant to

research designs5. Code data at nodes using various

methods6. Use visual aids to examine your coding7. Create memos and annotations.8. Create externals linked to e.g. external files

or websites

P Clarke, 201180

Useful tips and hintsUseful tips and hintso When first you load NVIVO a user profile pop-up requires your name

and initials for team work this can identify each members work inmerged projects. (This can also be set from File/Options / GeneralTab (Prompt for user on launch)

o By default NVIVO projects are saved in My Documents in a file withthe project name you provided and the file extension .nvp

o Do not work directly off a flash memory stick be careful on network drives. You can use memory sticks to move data from one computer to another.

o When first you create your NVIVO project create a new document asa Coding Journal to make notes about your coding activities andyour growing and changing ideas. Ctrl-Shift-T will put in the date andtime automatically each time you begin a journal or memo entry.

o Add the days date to your (short) project name each time youmake a (regular) back-up. Copy/ back up to differentlocation/media.

o Make use of Help and the online animated tutorials that are addedto from time to time.

o If you are working in a team to code the same data you can merge(import) the separate NVIVO projects by importing them all into oneof them and renaming the project(N.B make sure that any common source or node names areidentical.

Example of tree node structure

Positive comments about tourism

Negative comments about tourism

Positive comments about real estate development

Negative comments about real estate development

Positive comments about another issue

Keep adding a positive and negative node for eachnew issue

This structure canadd to the codingload and also requirestwo new nodes to becreated each time anew topic arises

See the next slide for a software-basedoption.

Textwhich is a positivecomment about tourism getsdouble coded - at PositivecommentsAND at Commentsabout tourism

This structure can lightensthe load as follows:

1. Double coding is quick (e.g.code a piece of text at thenode positive commentsAND at comments abouttourism).Do this with the right clickand code from the menuoption (Module 2, slide 59).Then to obtain the specifice.g. positive comments abouta topic you can do a CODING

QUERY PositiveANDComments about. Thensave the results as a newnode.

2. This method also requiresthat you simply create onlyONE node - not 2 each timea new topic arises that haspositive and negativecomments.

3. Broad-brush is quicker to do

Example of tree node structure

Negative comments

Positive comments

Comments about tourism

Comments about real estate development

Comments about. Etc.

Importing transcriptsImporting transcripts

o Transcripts can be prepared in Word or Excel and imported in .doc, .docx, or .txtand some .pdf formats

o Transcripts can be prepared with or without

timestamps.o Timestamp format is: hh:mm:ss e.g.
