General Inductive Approach to Qual Data Analysis

March 30, 2007 | posted by Ryan | Leave a Comment

In this article David Thomas, University of Aukland, New Zeland, writes of the general type of qualitative data analysis found in many research articles. According to Thomas, some researchers do not feel the need to immerse themselves within a particular tradition with specific jargon. I believe the value in this article comes in its basic approach to describing qualitative analysis. This would be a great article for those just learning the practical coding associated with qualitative analysis. If you want a digital copy of the article, it can be found here (from Online QDA): http://www.health.auckland.ac.nz/hrmas/resources/Inductive2003.pdf

Great Resource for Qualitative Analysis

March 28, 2007 | posted by Ryan | Leave a Comment

Here is a great resource for researchers focusing on qualitative research methods. The site, Online QDA, is a UK based site created with grant funding by a group of researchers. It is a wonderful site that can be used by beginning researchers to learn how to prep and code data, or it can be used as a reference for advanced researchers who wish to look up particular research methods, working with qualitative research software, etc. To learn more, visit the site Online QDA.

Oh, and it’s FREE!

Multiple Angles Book Store Goes Live!

March 26, 2007 | posted by Scott | Leave a Comment

I’m pleased to announce that we’ve got our Amazon.com-based book store up and running - just click on the main menu link Books, etc.

We’ve set it up so that the primary categories of items are directly relevant to topics we deal with on our blog and in our consulting. Over the next little while we’ll be doing some fine-tuning, and adding more categories and “recommended reading” lists from each of us. Our book store is run through Amazon, so you can make your transactions with the same confidence as you would if you were visiting the main Amazon.com site.

In the not too distant future, we’ll also have some of our own products to offer (mostly audio recordings for self-hypnosis to deal with specific issues, at least initially). Since those won’t be offered through Amazon, we’ll have a separate store front for those (currently being tested via the “Store” link in the main menu). Of course, to avoid confusion with our Amazon store, we’ll probably have to rename the “Store” – feel free to leave a comment to this post with suggestions.

Invited to train faculty/students to use research software

March 6, 2007 | posted by Ryan | Leave a Comment

You may be following our interactions with MAXqda2. If so, here is a quick update. The proposal I was asked to create for the grad school I work for (ITP) was accepted and the school has now purchased MAXqda2 for their lab computers. The program has been installed on all PC computers and we are just waiting for Parallels and Virtual PC so that we may install MAX on the Apple computers as well. Our students are excited to be moving forward with their research projects with this new software, and I have been invited to train faculty and researchers how to use the software. I look forward to helping out with this project, and I am finding that MAX is quite easy to work with. And now they are coming out with a new 2007 version - hopefully with even more perks. If you are interested, check out their website for more details.

Cheers.
