Analyzing and Interpreting Qualitative Research par Charles F. Vanover (Editor); Paul A. Mihas (Editor); Johnny Saldaña (Editor)This text provides comprehensive coverage of the key methods for analyzing, interpreting, and writing up qualitative research in a single volume, and drawing on the expertise of major names in the field. Covering all the steps in the process of analyzing, interpreting, and presenting findings in qualitative research, the authors utilize a consistent chapter structure that provides novice and seasoned researchers with pragmatic, "how-to" strategies. Each chapter introduces the method; uses one of the authors′ own research projects as a case study of the method described; shows how the specific analytic method can be used in other types of studies; and concludes with questions and activities to prompt class discussion or personal study.

Applied Thematic Analysis par Greg Guest; Kathleen M. MacQueen; Emily E. NameyAfter collecting qualitative data from in-depth interviews, focus groups, or field observations, students and researchers often struggle to make sense of it. This step-by-step guide draws on the authors' many years of experience carrying out qualitative research and conducting trainings on the subject. Their book describes how to analyze qualitative data in a systematic and rigorous way. The authors introduce and outline applied thematic analysis, an inductive approach that draws on established and innovative theme-based techniques suited to the applied research context. Chapters follow the sequence of activities in the analysis process and also include discussions of mixed methods, choosing the most appropriate software, and how to write up and present the results."This book presents what all of the books I've tried to use in the past have failed to present-how to analyze qualitative data."-Catherine C. Schifter, Temple University "This book does a wonderful job of explaining how important thematic analysis is for producing good research, and it uses rich and detailed examples to do it."-Matthew Hartley, University of Pennsylvania

L' aventure de la Recherche Qualitative par Stéphanie Gaudet (Editor); Dominique Robert (Editor)Dans ce manuel, la recherche qualitative est présentée comme un processus itératif plutôt que linéaire. Il s'agit du compagnon de voyage idéal pour tout chercheur en sciences sociales afin de le guider du début du processus de recherche qualitative jusqu'à sa toute fin, soit à l'étape de rédaction du mémoire, de la thèse ou du rapport de recherche. Les auteures proposent une réflexion sur les étapes conceptuelles, méthodologiques et éthiques du processus de création du savoir pour ensuite se pencher sur l'analyse du matériel empirique. L'ouvrage a d'ailleurs recours à des applications concrètes pour démontrer la manière dont les décisions méthodologiques se traduisent dans la pratique. Malgré l'ouverture et la flexibilité de leur approche, les auteures ne favorisent pas une posture relativiste, mais traitent de l'importance de répondre à des critères de validité explicites et à des écueils à éviter en analyse qualitative. Style engageant, conseils pratiques, illustrations claires, exemples variés et synthèses composent ce manuel qui vise à concrétiser le processus de recherche qualitative, souvent abstrait pour le chercheur novice. Ce livre est publié en français. - L'aventure de la recherche qualitative takes students from start-to-finish through the research process while showcasing the complexities and interrelationships of different methods, schools of thought, and associated analytical strategies. Encouraging students to think of qualitative research as a flexible, cyclical process rather than a linear one, this book offers a panoramic strategy and dynamic approach to qualitative research that accommodates the fluid nature of research and accounts for lessons learned through lived experience. With an emphasis on the analysis stage--within case, across case, and the dialogue between these insights and existing literature--it uses concrete applications to show how methodological decisions translate into practice. This book is published in French.
Qualitative Analysis Using NVivo par Nicholas H. Woolf; Christina SilverSoftware is cut and dried - every button you press has a predictable effect - but qualitative analysis is open ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways. This contradiction is best resolved by separating analytic strategies - what you plan to do - from software tactics - how you plan to do it. Expert NVivo users have unconsciously learned to do this. The Five-Level QDA® method unpacks the process so that you can learn it consciously and efficiently. The first part of the book explains how the contradiction between analytic strategies and software tactics is reconciled by "translating" between them. The second part provides both an in-depth description of how NVivo works and comprehensive instruction in the five steps of "translation". These steps are illustrated with examples from a variety of research projects. The third part contains real-world qualitative research projects from a variety of disciplines, methodologies, and kinds of qualitative analysis, all illustrated in NVivo using the Five-Level QDA method. The book is accompanied by three sets of video demonstrations on the companion website. The book and accompanying videos illustrate the Windows version of NVivo. As there are some differences in screen and interface design between the Mac and Windows versions please watch the video 'The NVivo Mac Interface' in the Component Orientation series of videos (available on the companion website). The Five-Level QDA method is based on the authors' combined 40 years of experience teaching NVivo and other software packages used as platforms for conducting qualitative analysis. After many years observing their students' challenges they developed the Five-Level QDA method to describe the process that long-time NVivo experts unconsciously adopt. The Five-Level QDA method is independent of software program or methodology, and the principles apply to any type of qualitative project.
