Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 TRADITIONAL OR COMPUTER ASSISTED Computer ANALYSIS? Assisted/Aided Qualitative 1 Traditional analysis: Should I go for a traditional way of analysing Data research material? Paper prints and coloring, copy-paste procedures, Analysis hanging papers on the wall, post-it tags etc.? Software 2 Computer assisted analysis: Should I use Computer Assisted/Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS)? Storing data in one place, checking up things quickly, handling text and audiovisual material parallel, creating summaries in seconds… Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 CAQDAS – RESTRICTING OR EXPANDING THINKING? 1 Technologies shape our thinking – whether we want it or not (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018). 2 Fears and high hopes 3 Software shape our research practices, our relationship to research, and ourselves as researchers, both extending and restricting human possibilities (Goble et al. 2012, 17). ”The greater the methodological expertise and confidence in using a certain methodology in the context of software, the lesser is the influence of software.” (Friese 2011, 1.) Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 THE ROLE OF THE SOFTWARE IN ANALYSIS 1 Software do not conduct the analysis, they only assist it. 2 Software are not good or bad per se. The question is always about how we use them. 3 CAQDAS does not make the analysis any better nor it is a guarantee of a high-quality research. 4 If the research problem is vague or the analytic approach unclear, CAQDAS do not fix the problem! (Jolanki & Karhunen 2010; Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS AVAILABLE? 1 Commercial ones: ATLAS.ti …and many other options, e.g., CAQDAS are often ANSWR, Datagrav, Dedoose, Ethnograph, f4analyse, Focuss On, based on the same HyperRESEARCH, MAXQDA (aiemmin WinMAX), NVivo (aiemmin idea but some NUD*IST), QDA Miner, Qiqqa, Qualrus, Quirkos, Raven’s Eye, Saturate differences do exist! App, Transana, webQDA, and Xsight 2 Free, open source software: e.g., AQUAD, Cassandre, CLAN, Coding Analysis Toolkit (CAT), Compendium, Computer Assisted Textual Markup and Analysis (CATMA), ELAN, KH Coder, RQDA, and TAMS Analyzer Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH ATLAS.TI? 1 Explore various types of research material, even simultaneously (e.g., textual, graphical, audio, and video documents; both empirical material and literature reviews) 2 Organise and save research material 3 Mark and analyse data segments (that is coding) 4 Explore only some parts of the data (e.g., groups of respondents or codes, parts of the research material), make comparisons if needed 5 Save ideas and thinking process (e.g., create memos, comment items) 6 Use search functions 7 Create reports 8 Visualise abstract and theoretical ideas (e.g., create networks) 9 Create relationships (e.g., create links and relations) 10 Utilise also other software while working with ATLAS.ti 11 Work in teams and collaborate with other researchers (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 INTERFACE Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 WHAT CAN’T YOU DO WITH ATLAS.TI? Researcher is always the key to 1 Researcher makes the analysis and interpretation, the software do not successful analysis, make any analysis! (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) not the software! 2 ATLAS.ti offers support to the researcher – without taking control of the intellectual process. (ATLAS.ti 8 Windows – User Manual.) 3 Researcher is searching for meanings, a computer for character strings. Cheers to that small (?) of a difference! (Eskola & Suoranta 2008.) Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 www.atlasti.com ATLAS.ti 7 ATLAS.TI – HOW still in use, e.g., at TO GET IT? many universities ATLAS.ti 8 Used to be only for Windows; now also version for Mac OS and Mobile for the iPad and Android. out on 6.12.2016, In addition, beta version ATLAS.ti Cloud: https://atlasti.com/cloud progressing all the Free trial version available (for Windows and Mac, ATLAS.ti 8): time http://atlasti.com/free-trial-version Student licenses: https://atlasti.com/students Herkama & Laajalahti 2019 UTILISING ATLAS.TI – & Laajalahti 2019 GOOD TO REMEMBER Herkama • ATLAS.ti interface allows easily intuitive inductive approach. • Also negative evidence exists. • World is not built on classifications. • You might not need all the tools and options available. • Quantifying research material is easy – but is it needed? (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) UTILISING ATLAS.TI – PITFALLS & Laajalahti 2019 Herkama • The software are not doing the analysis but instead they assist you doing the analysis! • ATLAS.ti may not save your time, nor does it guarantee the quality of analysis. • Do not let yourself get lost! (”Mess of codes”, ”Code jungle”, ”Drowning in codes”…) • Do I see the forest for the trees? • The codes created do not equal to insightful qualitative analysis! • Do not stop too early. You may still need to think over again! Interpret! (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) UTILISING ATLAS.TI – BENEFITS & Laajalahti 2019 Herkama • The administration and organisation of qualitative research material becomes easier. • Various types of data sets can be viewed simultaneously. • Remarks, thoughts, and comments can be saved and archived. • Quotations can be easily searched and copy-pasted to a final research report. • The amount of potential mistakes decreases. • When utilised properly, the accuracy, consistency, and transparency of the analysis increases potentially resulting to the higher level of quality in general. • At best, CAQDAS can free up researcher’s thinking capacity possibly allowing serendipity, i.e. ”unplanned or fortunate discoveries”. (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) SOMETHING FOR ME? WHAT TO & Laajalahti 2019 CONSIDER AS A NEW BEGINNER? Herkama • Size and structure of the research material • Aims of the current study • Research questions, designs, and analysis methods characteristic to your own field of study • Your own attitudes towards software in general and readiness to learn new things • Support and software available in your research community (Laajalahti & Herkama 2018.) GOOD LUCK! & Laajalahti 2019 • There is no ”right” or ”wrong” way to Herkama utilise ATLAS.ti. • Find your own way! • Do not give up! • Do not hesitate to try out! Be creative!

Audiovisual Media Annotation Using Qualitative Data Analysis Software: A Comparative Analysis Abstract The variety of specialized tools designed to facilitate analysis of audio-visual (AV) media are useful not only to media scholars and oral historians but to other researchers as well. Both Qualitative Data Analysis Software (QDAS) packages and dedicated systems created for specific disciplines, such as linguistics, can be used for this purpose. Software proliferation challenges researchers to make informed choices about which package will be most useful for their project. This paper aims to present an information science perspective of the scholarly use of tools in qualitative research of audio-visual sources. It provides a baseline of affordances based on functionalities with the goal of making the types of research tasks that they support more explicit (e.g., transcribing, segmenting, coding, linking, and commenting on data).

  • Developing an Argument Learning Environment Using Agent-Based ITS (ALES)
    Educational Data Mining 2009 Developing an Argument Learning Environment Using Agent-Based ITS (ALES) Sa¯a Abbas1 and Hajime Sawamura2 1 Graduate School of Science and Technology, Niigata University 8050, 2-cho, Ikarashi, Niigata, 950-2181 JAPAN [email protected] 2 Institute of Natural Science and Technology, Academic Assembly,Niigata University 8050, 2-cho, Ikarashi, Niigata, 950-2181 JAPAN [email protected] Abstract. This paper presents an agent-based educational environment to teach argument analysis (ALES). The idea is based on the Argumentation Interchange Format Ontology (AIF) using "Walton Theory". ALES uses di®erent mining techniques to manage a highly structured arguments repertoire. This repertoire was designed, developed and implemented by us. Our aim is to extend our previous framework proposed in [3] in order to i) provide a learning environment that guides student during argument learning, ii) aid in improving the student's argument skills, iii) re¯ne students' ability to debate and negotiate using critical thinking. The paper focuses on the environment development specifying the status of each of the constituent modules. 1 Introduction Argumentation theory is considered as an interdisciplinary research area. Its techniques and results have found a wide range of applications in both theoretical and practical branches of arti¯cial in- telligence and computer science [13, 12, 16]. Recently, AI in education is interested in developing instructional systems that help students hone their argumentation skills [5]. Argumentation is classi- ¯ed by most researchers as demonstrating a point of view (logic argumentation), trying to persuade or convince (rhetoric and dialectic argumentation), and giving reasons (justi¯cation argumentation) [12].

  • Mendeley Mendeley Is a Reference and Citation Manager Available for Free up to 2 GB of Web Storage (More Storage Is Available for $55 Per Year)
    Mendeley Mendeley is a reference and citation manager available for free up to 2 GB of web storage (more storage is available for $55 per year). Mendeley is available as a desktop app, mobile app, as well as online. An MS Word extension allows users to connect to and cite their references while writing. Mendeley allows users to add resources in three ways. First, one may upload a PDF to Mendeley. Mendeley stores the PDF and allows the user to comment on and write notes in the PDF. Users may also enter sources manually, in cases where no PDF is present. For this entry approach, a few templates are available for the most common resource types. Users may also use the web extension to download source information from the web. Once sources have been entered, users can then then organize their sources in a variety of ways. The most prevalent use is through folders, which allow users to categorize sources by topic or project. However, users can also create tags for their files and sources so that they can search for keywords or topics that are important to them. Points in favor: • In-app PDF reader with commentary ability Points against: • Surprising lack of resource templates and information fields (e.g. no template for a conference paper or a book with translator). • MS Word extension has bugs that cause it to crash. Screenshots: Microsoft Word Citation Generator Although we tested Microsoft Word primarily as a writing app, the program includes a citation generator which was tested for facility and accuracy alongside the other reference management apps.1 Like other apps, MS Word has templates for common and uncommon resource types, including book, journal, and sound recording.
