What might be the disadvantages for a novice qualitative researcher using a CAQDAS program to organise data and manage data collection?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWERS Disadvantages of using a computer program for data organisation and management may include: • over-reliance on the program for word or phrase searches, rather than doing a visual search of data with careful coding technique • fracturing of data when a ‘circling and parking' style of data analysis is more appropriate—losing sight or ‘feel' for the whole data set • the temptation to move prematurely into conceptualisation when categorisation is actually required (e.g. through setting up code hierarchies prematurely) • considerable time and energy are required for entering codes.
