Dear Researcher
Please don’t reply to the list!
An ESRC funded project “Online Support for QDA and CAQDAS and Evaluation of Learning Needs” http://caqdas.soc.surrey.ac.uk/caqdas/onli...qda/qdahome.htm would like volunteers who are CURRENTLY USING OR HAVE USED software to assist with their qualitative data analysis. Volunteers need to be UK BASED FOR STAGES 1 AND 2. Worldwide volunteers can take part in stages 3, 4 and 5.
At this time we require volunteers for stage 2 which will involve a 30 minute interview conducted over the phone and will be tape recorded. We are interested to hear about your experience of using the software to ensure the materials we develop address real issues. However, we also hope you will take part in subsequent stages of the project which are listed below.
We wish to address common problems (both early and advanced) of qualitative data analysis and computer usage. We expect to do this in generic ways but also with some specific practical advice for software programs. These materials are intended to complement workshops NOT replace them.
Researchers:
Graham R. Gibbs (Co-Director) and Celia Taylor, University of Huddersfield
Nigel Fielding (Co-Director) and Ann Lewins, University of Surrey
The project consists of 5 stages which are listed below:
Stage 1 – Observation using the software July 2004 – February 2005
We will observe and listen as you use the software. Using ‘think aloud protocols will help use understand what tools you use and how. It will also identify the areas where you need help, if at all? If you need any help we will make this a support session to move you forward in your use of the software (Must be UK based software user, only a few slots are now left for Stage 1).
Stage 2 – Interviews August 2004 – December 2004
We are interested in interviewing you about your qualitative data analysis and either your use of the software to assist with this or your reasons for deciding to use one package rather than another. (Must be UK based software user).
Stage 3 – Online questionnaire survey October 2004 – January 2005
The survey will be conducted online to reach a broad range of people using QDA and CAQDAS and will help us to identify the topics that need to be included in the learning materials.
Stage 4 – User trial of a prototype version of the learning materials February 2005
You will be testing a prototype of the learning materials and giving feedback on the suitability of the delivery style.
Stage 5 – User trial of the full version of the learning materials July 2005
You will be testing the full version of the learning materials and giving feedback on the suitability of the topics covered and the delivery style.
Please send an email to let me know if you are interested in taking part or require further information c.p.taylor@hud.ac.uk
