DESCRIPTION

On Thursday, Khulisa staff received training on how to better use the qualitative data analysis and research software, ATLAS ti from post-graduate research intern, Catherine Rogers. Catherine provided several hands-on tips and techniques, including how to manually code research images - one of the many functionalities of the software tool.

INTRODUCTION

Experiences

Have you coded transcripts without software?

Have you used Atlas-ti before?

When did you use it?

Has anyone had ATLAS-TI training?

What were your experiences?

What is Atlas-ti?

Qualitative Coding

• Manual

• Auto

Coding of

• Documents (word and PDF) – interview transcripts, policy documents

• Photographs – observations

• Graphics – comparing Theories of Change

What is Atlas-ti?

Presentation of Data (outputs)

• Lists

• Frequencies

• Networks

When to use the program:

Literature Reviews

Document Review Analysis

Analysing interviews

Analysing photographed observations

May require coding phases

Coding is like astronomy

Choosing themes & codes

What information do I need to answer these research questions? (Themes)

Create themes you wish to search for and codes that represent those themes

Merge codes or create families of codes to create categories

Choosing themes & codes

Code for MEANING

• eg: Psychosocial benefits, Positive Collaboration

Keep it SIMPLE

• few useful codes vs many codes

Limitations

Auto-coding finds words and not meaning (codes questions in interviews)

It organises data but does not analyse it

Frequency output accuracy (be careful when coding)
