• General Qualitative Methodology

I am a big fan of qualitative research methodology and am teaching my own course on qualitative research methods. However, I fully recognize its wonderful complementary function in the Mixed Methods design and I am always happy to contribute my part in any mixed methods study with a particularly qualitative strand if it is methodologically sound. I offer training on all types (approaches) of qualitative research methodology and assume MAXQDA to be excellent for each type. I admit that any software which we use directs our epistemology and eventually constructs our meaning-making in coding and thematic analysis. I find it valuable to know it in advance for each student who steps into the MAXQDA journey.        

My PhD in sociology of education is made entirely with the application of MAXQDA. I have studied MAXQDA from scratch myself and made all range of operations in this program pertaining to the qualitative data analysis: transcriptions, coding (all strategies: in-vivo, theoretically-informed, open coding), visualization (Case Models, Codes Models, Clustering in MaxMaps), additionally, other analytical exercises, which may deepen my vision of own data (cross-tabs, complex coding query, comparing cases and groups; working with code configurations, code frequencies, code coverage). My PhD research is built entirely on the wonderful MAXQDA profile and I may teach how to use it both for the long-term (thesis) and short-term (scientific papers) goals.
