Description: Software is cut - and - dried every button you press has a predictable effect but qualitative analysis is open - ended and unfolds in unpredictable ways. This contradiction is best resolved by separating analytic strategies what you plan to do from software tactics how you plan to do it. Expert Maxqd a users have unconsciously learned to do this. The Five - Level QD a method unpacks the process so that you can learn it consciously and efficiently. The first part of the book explains how the contradiction between analytic strategies and software tactics is reconciled by "translating" between them. The second part provides both an in - depth description of how Maxqd a works and comprehensive instruction in the five steps of "translation". These steps are illustrated with examples from a variety of research projects. The third part contains real - world qualitative research projects from a variety of disciplines methodologies and kinds of qualitative analysis all illustrated in Maxqd a using the Five - Level QD a method. The book is accompanied by three sets of video demonstrations on the Companion Website. The functionality and interface design of Maxqd a for Windows and Mac are identical. The Five - Level QD a method learned from this book is therefore the same whether you are working on a Mac or Windows computer. The Five - Level QD a method is based on the authors combined 40 years of experience teaching Maxqd a and other software packages used as platforms for conducting qualitative analysis. After many years observing their students challenges they developed the Five - Level QD a method to describe the process that long - time Maxqd a experts unconsciously adopt. The Five - Level QD a method is independent of software program or methodology and the principles apply to any type of qualitative project.
