Qualitative Data Analysis using MAXQDA: Scratch to Advanced

Welcome to Qualitative Data Analysis using MAXQDA. There are two main types of researches: quantitative research and qualitative research. If you look at the most of the researchers around yourself, their skills are often limited to quantitative research tools.

This is mainly because qualitative researchers are still not part of the curriculum of many universities and institutions around the world. In case qualitative researchers are taught at masters or doctoral level they are presented in a very complex and esoteric manner making it very difficult for the students to comprehend the method of qualitative research. Research is all about methods and innovative ideas.

You will always feel handicapped unless and until you learn the techniques on your own by right guidance and constant practice. Often in the name of qualitative research, many people analyze their data in a vague and subjective manner. My method is to use qualitative software for teaching qualitative analysis.

This is because software are based on logical steps and any analysis learned through them makes the learning clear and concrete. MAXQDA is the most comprehensive software for doing mixed method research. So if you have been trying to learn qualitative analysis but you felt lost in philosophical discourses and complex terminologies of your books and course material then this course is for you.
