Course Overview
No summary details available for this course.
This is a 5-day, hands-on training designed to equip researchers, data analysts, statisticians, and data scientists with the skills to manage and analyze qualitative and mixed-methods data using MAXQDA.
You will learn how to:
- Set up a MAXQDA project
- Import diverse data types (e.g. interview transcripts, focus-group text, media, survey open-ended responses),
- Organize documents, apply coding (manual and auto-coding),
- Build code systems and categories to code and categorize data
- Run queries and analyses to unearth patterns, themes, and relationships
- Use MAXQDA’s visualization and reporting tools, including code matrices, word clouds, code co-occurrence maps, charts, and summary tables to communicate findings effectively
The course also covers mixed-methods workflows integrating qualitative data with quantitative attributes (e.g. survey variables), enabling joint analysis, comparisons, and cross-referencing.
