QuestionsQuestions
Lyn Richards, 2006
Type of question ApproachAbout meaning (e.g. What is the meaning of.?) andabout the core or essence of phenomena or experiences
Phenomenology
Observational questions (e.g. What are the behaviouralpatterns of ..?) and descriptive questions about values,beliefs, and practices of a cultural group (What is goingon here?)
Ethnography
Process questions about changing experience over timeor its stages and phases (e.g. What is the process ofbecoming..?) or understanding questions (e.g. what arethe dimensions of this experience..?)
Groundedtheory
Questions directly asserted in applied or policy research,where specific information is needed from the data. Themethods will be less inductive, more deductive.

How NVIVO 9 can helpHow NVIVO 9 can helpPart 1 of the course:1.Store, manage ,link documents and ideas
within an NVIVO software project2.Code documents at nodes and code
on/refine your coding3.Memo your ideas about the data/documents4.Move between the nodes and the document
detail
5.Shape the project with classifications toassign e.g. demographic categories;6.Tree node structures to reflect your project
design
P Clarke, 201119
How NVIVO 9 can helpHow NVIVO 9 can help
Part 2 of the course:7. More linking8. Search and scope to ask questions and develop
and test ideas & theories
9. Model, chart and visualise to display ideas, findingsetc10. Reports extraction for inclusion in written work

SourcesSources
o Sources =the project items that are your research materials
o Internals are imported or created in your NVIVO project
o Externals represent data you dont of cant import
o Memos for your writing about your data and analysis process
o You can create sub-folders to suit your project purposes to helporganise your sources
P Clarke, 201127
Classifications & attributesClassifications & attributeso Classifications provide a way to record descriptive information
about the sources and nodes in your project:
o Source classifications are related to predefined characteristicse.g. bibliographic categories
o Node classifications are for e.g. socio-demographiccharacteristics e.g. gender, education levels, region etc

1. After we have viewed the data material:2. Open NVIVO in your computer
From Programs > QSR > NVIVO 9OR
Double-click the NVIVO logo on the desktopo It is a large program so takes a while to open and
looks as though nothing is happening on screenso:
Be patient.2. Click on New Project > Name your project e.g.
Environmental change > Click OK

characteristics that can help you organise and analysise.g. Source classifications may include
Interviews, focus groups, journal articles etc Node classification my include
persons organisations
Classifications my have particular attributes e.g. Interview: interviewer, year Person: age, education, gender
Attributes may have values e.g. female, male

node1. E.g. Write a memo about what you learnt from the interview
with Charles.To do this:2. In the List view right click on that interviews name-
(Charles).3. Select Memo link to Link to New Memo . Name the
memo and in the open blank memo, if you Ctrl-Shift-T itadds the date and time each time you write for audit trailpurpose. Then write some text.
4. The memo is linked to the source and is stored in:Sources> Memos .
[Alternate method: from within the open source right click then Links > Memo link > Link to new memo]
5. Memos can record process, insights and help inform your writing about your research.

specific annotation. If there is more than one or theannotation number in the field.3. To write an annotation: In Charles > highlight some text >
Right click > Links > Annotation > New Annotation .4. An annotation field will open at the bottom of the

So far we have learnt how to:1. Import or create documents2. Auto-code nodes based on structured
data collection3. Work with classifications4. Set up coding structures relevant to
research designs5. Code data at nodes using various
methods6. Use visual aids to examine your coding7. Create memos and annotations.8. Create externals linked to e.g. external files

Useful tips and hintsUseful tips and hintso When first you load NVIVO a user profile pop-up requires your name
and initials for team work this can identify each members work inmerged projects. (This can also be set from File/Options / GeneralTab (Prompt for user on launch)
o By default NVIVO projects are saved in My Documents in a file withthe project name you provided and the file extension .nvp
o Do not work directly off a flash memory stick be careful on network drives. You can use memory sticks to move data from one computer to another.
o When first you create your NVIVO project create a new document asa Coding Journal to make notes about your coding activities andyour growing and changing ideas. Ctrl-Shift-T will put in the date andtime automatically each time you begin a journal or memo entry.
o Add the days date to your (short) project name each time youmake a (regular) back-up. Copy/ back up to differentlocation/media.
o Make use of Help and the online animated tutorials that are addedto from time to time.
o If you are working in a team to code the same data you can merge(import) the separate NVIVO projects by importing them all into oneof them and renaming the project(N.B make sure that any common source or node names areidentical.

Textwhich is a positivecomment about tourism getsdouble coded - at PositivecommentsAND at Commentsabout tourism
This structure can lightensthe load as follows:
1. Double coding is quick (e.g.code a piece of text at thenode positive commentsAND at comments abouttourism).Do this with the right clickand code from the menuoption (Module 2, slide 59).Then to obtain the specifice.g. positive comments abouta topic you can do a CODING
QUERY PositiveANDComments about. Thensave the results as a newnode.
2. This method also requiresthat you simply create onlyONE node - not 2 each timea new topic arises that haspositive and negativecomments.
3. Broad-brush is quicker to do
Example of tree node structure
Negative comments
Positive comments
Comments about tourism
Comments about real estate development
Comments about. Etc.
