Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) is becoming increasingly prevalent in the social and health sciences and an expected skill for many researchers. CAQDAS is much less structured than the use of quantitative analysis software. However, actual CAQDAS practices and challenges have been insufficiently studied, especially among…

Despite the varied approaches to qualitative data analysis software (QDAS) instruction, teaching QDAS remains a challenge as students' skills with digital tools and understanding of qualitative research vary. In this paper, we report on our experiences providing QDAS instruction via an introductory NVivo 11 workshop to graduate students. To report…

Few studies have explored approaches to teaching qualitative data analysis software (QDAS). As more researchers rely on self-teaching, more research into best practices for developing QDAS expertise is warranted. In this paper, we report our experience using the Five-Level QDA® method to guide the design of an introductory ATLAS.ti workshop. By…
