  2. Why do Qualitative research? • Qualitative research methods are designed to help researchers understand: • people and what they say and do. • The social and cultural contexts within which people live. • BENEFIT • It allows a researchers to See and Understand the Context within which decisions and actions take place. • Qualitative researchers argue that if you want to understand people’s motivations, their reasons, their actions, and the context for their beliefs and actions in an in-depth way, qualitative research is best (Michael D. Myers, 2009).

  3. Qualitative Vs. Quantitative Research Methods Analyzing Data Source: Michael D. Myers, 2009

  4. What is Atlas.ti? • Atlas.ti is a computer program used mostly, but not exclusively, in qualitative research or qualitative data analysis. • The purpose of ATLAS.ti is to help researchers uncover and systematically analyze complex phenomena hidden in unstructured data (text, multimedia, geospatial). • The program provides tools that let the user locate, code, and annotate findings in primary data material, to weigh and evaluate their importance, and to visualize the often complex relations between them. • ATLAS.ti consolidates large volumes of documents and keeps track of all notes, annotations, codes and memos in all fields that require close study and analysis of primary material consisting of text, images, audio, video, and geo data. • Download the latest version of software through: • http://payambarpour.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/what-is-atlas-ti-7-and-how-to-reach-it/

  5. Central Concept • Hermeneutic Unit (HU) A database containing all data, quotes, codes, output, and so on that is associated with a research project.

  6. Central Concept • Primary Document (PD) A data file that can be assigned to a HU.

  7. Starting a project • The first time you run the software, you will be promoted with a “welcome HU” by Atlas.ti • Next time you run Atlas.ti, you will be promoted with the last saved HU • Create a new folder for a project (anywhere on your computer) • Move the original documents (they will be PDs) into the same folder • Create an HU file in the same folder • Save

  8. To add new P-Docs • Add Documents (My library) => To do your owned work. • Add Documents (Team library) => To do team work and trace the work • of your colleagues. • Always use “ Save copy Bundle” after any change.

  9. How to view different P-Docs? • Loading up to four documents simultaneously. • Allows to conduct rich comparative analysis.

  10. How to import survey into Atlas.ti?

  11. How to import survey into Atlas.ti?
