I am doing a PhD level work on Qualitative descriptive research and for that i am need to know about any recent developments in techniques on it using Nvivo. I will be very thankful for those who can help me out it this endeavor. I am doing Qualitative research.
You can try Pat Bazeley and Kristi Jackson's latest book on NVivo "Qualitative Data Analysis with NVivo"
or Bazeley's "Qualitative Data Analysis Practical Strategies"
Both are very good, the first one is purely on NVivo, the second one is more generic.
Hello Abdul,
We have used in our research group the same book that Christel told you before (above). We also use "The coding manual for qualitative researchers" by Johnny Saldaña (2009), published by Sage. It is not specific on NVivo, but can be useful for coding.
All the best,
Francisco
Hi, Silverman's book on Interpreting Qualitative Data might be of use but doesn't specifically discuss NVivo. The NVivo site has some useful case studies as well.
Good Afternoon Sir: In researching for my dissertation, I amassed a large amount of notes and references. I elected to conduct a qualitative approach to my paper rather than a quantitative approach, because I believe that statistics can only render approximations. To fully understand the author's real meaning, it becomes necessary to understand the thought process of the author. Doing a content analysis of the words used in an article can provide new insight into the meaning of words that a statistical equation or answer, cannot provide. I used the following books to help me understand content analysis and to use this knowledge to perform my qualitative analysis using NVivo10.
1. Content Analysis - An Introduction to its Methodology, 3rd Ed, Klaus Krippendorff, 2013, Sage Publications.
2. Qualitative Content Analysis in Practice, Margrit Schreier, 2012, reprinted in 2013, Sage Publications.
3. Content Analysis Guidebook, Kimberly A. Neuendorf, 2002, Sage Publications.
4. Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches, John W. Creswell, 2009, Sage Publications.
I hope this will help you in your research. I found these boos extremely helpful in understanding the qualitative process. Once I understood the process, it was easier for me to understand how to use NVivo10, and use the results of the analysis to write my paper. Good luck on your paper.
