Qualitative Research Tech Tools

7/15/2017

 
As I write my analysis of active and experiential learning in my 2016 student surveys and 2017 instructor and student interviews at a STEM university in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, I am trying to use technology tools. What I have discovered is that the learning curve is steep. There are three tools I am using:
  1. NVivo from QSR International - www.qsrinternational.com/
    1. ​This is a powerful analytic system that I am finding difficult to use. The issue I am facing is formatting and importing interview transcripts. I have decided to bypass this software until after my paper is done, and then return to it when I do not have time pressure to finish.
  2. Voyant Tools - voyant-tools.org/
    1. This is a free online tool for frequency and associated analysis. It works, and it is easy to use. There are some issues with the way I collected my data that limit the utility of the results from this tool, but I will use it and explain the limitations.
  3. EndNote - endnote.com/
    1. Anyone who has written research papers has at least tried to use EndNote. This is for citations and references and works within MS Word. Because I want to ensure that I have properly cited everything, I'm going to tough it out and figure out how to use this properly
I share this for my academic friends. If you have suggestions, please post them in response to this blog update. If you are going through similar learning processes for these tools, get in touch. Maybe we can help each other.
Back to the writing grind ...
