Although various academic disciplines use data papers to support effective research practices, data papers are still uncommon in the educational sciences. Main goals of data papers are enhancing transparency regarding research processes and supporting data sharing among researchers and thus, open science. As many educational research projects…

The use of codebooks to categorise qualitative data and to increase consistency in coding between multiple researchers is a well-established strategy in qualitative research. However, due to the focus on team-based research projects, the possibilities for the use of codebooks by individual researchers are rarely discussed. With the aim of adding…

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…

Primarily methodological in its orientation, this paper offers a presentation of 'research outcomes' in ways that challenge and disrupt commonplace notions of data and analysis. In an attempt to write against the grain of conventional qualitative research practice and to experiment with alternative encounters with data and analysis, I present…

In today's world of pervasive technology use, online education is rapidly growing. Online learning environments offer a multitude of benefits for both learners and teachers, as there are substantially more accessible and affordable. The present research focuses on teaching the use of qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) to researchers.…

While research on teaching qualitative methods in education has increased, few studies explore teaching qualitative data analysis software within graduate-level methods courses. During 2013, we required students in several such courses to use ATLAS.ti™ as a project management tool for their assignments. By supporting students' early experiences…

Participation of people with disabilities in producing and using research is critical for monitoring the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The Research Active Programme (RAP) is a module designed to build research capacity of students with intellectual disabilities. RAP was…
