Research – Qualtative Analysis

Description

Qualitative analysis is a research method used to explore and interpret non-numerical data. It focuses on understanding concepts, experiences, and meanings rather than measuring quantities.

Qualitative Analysis, Word Frequency Query, and Text Search Query in NVivo

1. Qualitative Analysis in NVivo
Qualitative analysis involves exploring non-numerical data (such as interviews, surveys, and documents) to identify patterns, themes, and meanings. NVivo is a qualitative data analysis software that helps researchers organize, analyze, and visualize this data effectively.

2. Word Frequency Query in NVivo

• This query identifies the most frequently occurring words in a dataset (e.g., interview transcripts, survey responses, or reports).
• Helps researchers detect key topics and trends in large volumes of text.
• Results can be displayed in word clouds, tables, or charts.
• You can set filters to remove common words (stop words) and focus on meaningful terms.

3. Text Search Query in NVivo

• This allows researchers to search for specific words or phrases within the dataset.
• Can be used to explore how often a term appears and in what context.
• NVivo highlights the searched words in the text and provides coding options to categorize findings.
• Advanced features allow stemmed searches (e.g., searching “educate” finds “education” and “educational”) and proximity searches (finding words near each other).
