![]() The most used visual tool is the Code Matrix Browser, which you can open via the “Visual Tools” tab.1 Application of MAXQDA in Qualitative Research Data Analysis Trainers: Linda Kimmel, ISR, UM Hanan Abdul Rahim, SESRI David Howell, ISR, UMĢ Workshop Outline - Monday 8:00-8:30 8:30-10:00 10:00-10:15 10:15-12:15 12:15-12:30 12:30-2:00 Introductory Qualitative Data Analysis concepts Introductory Concepts and an Introduction to Basic MAXQDA Features Break Creating a New Project to Code Text Data Break Working with Different Document Types in MAXQDAĤ Introductory Concepts Workshop focus Brief overview of types of qualitative data Computer software and qualitative data Why we picked MAXQDAĥ Workshop Focus: Objectives The workshop is designed to give participants a basic understanding of how the analysis of qualitative and mixed methods data can benefit from existing software tools. The visualization tools also allow you to show data connections in a comprehensible way. This may be particularly useful to overcome language barriers, for example when working in international projects. MAXQDA is the first QDA software to allow the use of emojis as a code symbol. This does not only help you with the visual organization of your data, but colors can also be given certain meanings. There are several ways to visualize data in MAXQDA, starting with the possibility to assign individual colors to codes and documents. ![]() Visualizing results is one of MAXQDA’s strengths which is why we want to include this chapter in a Getting Started Guide. The source info does not only tell you which document a certain segment is from, it also lets you go directly to that document: click on the document name, and the document will be loaded to the Document Browser window with the coded segment right at hand, so that you can easily view it in its context. In the example below the segment can be found in paragraph 6 of document “Jamie“. Below every segment you will see the segment’s source information. ![]() All coded segments found will appear in MAXQDA’s fourth main window, the Retrieved Segments window. Activation of codes works just like the activation of documents (right-click the code and choose the option Activate or click on the symbol in front of the code name\subcode name). In MAXQDA such a Coding Query works – similar to the Lexical search – via activations.Īctivate all documents that you want to include in the Coding Query, as well as those codes assigned to the segments you are interested in. ![]() If you, for example, do a research based on interviews, you may ask: “What was said about a certain topic and who said what?” The magic word to get exactly those answers is Retrieval. The easiest way is to retrieve all segments assigned to one specific code. At one point you will want to stop coding and start looking at the results of that process. Retrieving all segments coded with one codeĬoding isn’t everything and your analysis is certainly more than just coding. Alternatively, you can click on the document or document group symbol again. How can I reset the activation? Simply go to the Document System window and click the icon Reset activations on the toolbar. ![]()
