This workshop will investigate the early stages of a developing project file—the considerations for shaping, organizing, and importing raw data and the MAXQDA functions that enable you to maintain a clear and well-organized project during the initial phase of analysis.

The workshop will function like a brief simulation. You will be provided with sample data and work in a collaborative setting to create a MAXQDA project file and undertake some exploratory analysis. Throughout the workshop, we will seize opportunities to interrogate and discuss our organizational and analytical choices and rationale. 

 Participating in this workshop will provide you with an opportunity to adapt some new practices and think deliberately about the way you conceptualize organizing your data and commencing early analysis. By seeing, in context, when and where certain MAXQDA functions are used, you will gain a clearer sense of their broader scope and scale which should aide you in later applications.

In this workshop we will explore the various features of MAXQDA's AI Assist. The workshop will focus on using AI support throughout the stages of the research process, from initial data exploration to the final analysis. For this workshop, we will consider AI Assist as a digital assistant for the qualitative researcher that opens up interesting possibilities but also comes with its own requirements. The workshop will be structured along three interactive exercises that aim to simulate a research project. In this way, the participants will learn how to use AI Assist effectively and critically, and to evaluate its use for their own research projects.

This workshop will examine a variety of facilities in MAXQDA that help you dig more deeply into your data. These tools assist as you think about underlying themes and they help you to interrogate your data effectively. The workshop will include discussion of the methodological purposes and justifications behind the use of these functions, and these will range from purely qualitative approaches to mixed methods and quantitising applications. The workshop will show that analysis is much more than the coding process and covers a great variety of other tools in computer-assisted qualitative data analysis. After completing this workshop, you will have greater confidence to explore and question your data in multiple ways and so find more subtle or deeper themes. You will also be more able to support your theories with relevant evidence and thus increase your impact. You will have learned when it may or may not be appropriate to use each of these facilities.

The workshop offers an overview of MAXQDAs visual tools and how they are used in research. Participants will practice creating visualizations with example data and discuss the potentials and limits of each visual tool.

Haben Sie Ihre Daten codiert und fragen sich jetzt, wie Sie die Codierungen auswerten können? Bevor Sie Ihre Auswertungsstrategien festlegen können, sollten Sie die Bandbreite der Werkzeuge kennen, die Ihnen MAXQDA bietet. In diesem Workshop erhalten Sie einen Überblick über die wichtigsten bzw. meistverwendetsten codebasierten Analysefunktionen und deren Anwendungsmöglichkeiten. Die Erläuterungen der Funktionen werden durch Übungen an Beispieldaten abgerundet. Optional können Sie die Funktionen auch direkt an Ihren Projektdaten testen.

The workshop focuses on mixed methods analysis, which involves the integration of both qualitative and quantitative data, methods, or results. We will briefly review the key characteristic of mixed methods research, major designs, and strategies for integration. The workshop focuses on leveraging the functions of MAXQDA to achieve meaningful integration. Supplemented with examples and demonstrations from actual research studies, participants will learn how MAXQDA can assist with mixed methods analysis from setting up your project file with both qualitative and quantitative data to conducting integrative analysis.

In this workshop, you will learn how to effectively plan and execute teamwork with MAXQDA. This session will provide you with decision-making tools and techniques that allow you to use MAXQDA as the backbone of your team analysis project. We will cover project-level management tools (such as TeamWork merge or exchange, as well as TeamCloud), tools for facilitation of co-analysis and distributed workflows (such as document sets, memos, code colors, code comments, and code weights), and we will share best practices related to teamwork in qualitative analysis (e.g. analyst onboarding, project documentation, approaches to coding consistency, and how to remain ‘on the same page’ in a team project).

MAXQDA can be harnessed to undertake qualitative and mixed-methods analysis drawing on a range of different analytic methods. Thematic analysis is a common approach which has become increasingly popular in recent years – amongst students working on qualitative dissertations and amongst researchers working throughout academic and applied research sectors (e.g. government, policy, charity, market-research etc.). This workshop focuses on how the techniques involved in the phases of work in a thematic analysis can be accomplished using the software tools provided by MAXQDA. Using Braun & Clarke’s (2021) six phases of Reflexive Thematic Analysis as an example framework, we set up a thematic analysis in MAXQDA and experiment with a range of tools that can be used to familiarize with data, code data, generate, develop, review and refine themes, capture analytic reflections throughout the process, and share findings and process. We discuss the appropriateness of tools for different analytic tasks, and the benefits of using MAXQDA for thematic analysis in comparison to manual methods.
 

The aim of this workshop is to introduce you to essential features for coducting discourse analysis with MAXQDA. We will start with a short overview of various approaches to discourse analysis and then explore how the software can offer a valuable support thoughout different phases of a research project. We will discuss aspects of data organization, how to import your corpora in MAXQDA and set up your project. Subsequently we will talk about the process of coding: What does coding entail in the context of discourse analysis? What should be considered when designing a code system for a discourse analysis? What constitutes suitable units of codes? Additionally, we will delve into the practice of annotating the text with memos, reflecting on the research process as it unfolds. A pivotal aspect of discourse analysis involves recognizing discursive rules that underlie the formulation of statements and observing, how these patterns change over time. Visual tools are a particularly potent in revealing such structures. In the second half the workshop, we will talk about visualising our coded data in order to find emerging themes and trends.

This workshop will present strategies for developing engaging courses and workshops for qualitative researchers who are new to qualitative data analysis as well as MAXQDA software. The approach distinguishes between the tools we use to interact with primary data (e.g. memos, segments, codes and variables) and the processes we employ to search and retrieve, review and reflect, and finally reduce data into succinct discussions of research findings. We will discuss approaches for structuring methodological content and software demonstrations, using secondary data for practical exercises, incorporating individual and team-based activities, and incorporating questions related to specific research and data collection projects.

In diesem Workshop erhalten Sie Hinweise und Tipps, wie Sie eine qualitative Inhaltsanalyse mit MAXQDA umsetzen können. Wir starten den Workshop mit einer kurzen Übersicht über den typischen Ablauf qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse und durchlaufen dann in einer Mischung aus Demonstration und Übung die Umsetzung der einzelnen Schritte mit MAXQDA.
