For Education

If you're an academic researcher, a student or a teacher, research is often about contributing to the collection of knowledge in a particular field where outcomes are likely to be tied to a theory (Imms & Ereaut 2002).

 

In other words, the research process itself is often considered just as important as the findings that are produced.

Our software is designed to support a wide range of research methods, including grounded theory, phenomenology and discourse analysis. From initial literature reviews and project design, through to analysis and reporting, if you're working in the education sector, you can count on QSR software to help you achieve rigorous results.

"The modelling feature of NVivo let me illustrate how the coding relates to the transcript data and in turn allow for a discussion of the connections that may suggest a more complex conceptual or theoretical model. I could easily demonstrate how various components of a model relate to transcript segments or interpretative ideas that surface during the coding."

What our users say

"Whichever software a lecturer uses for survey and statistical design, they recognise it does not replace the creativity and interpretive role of the researcher. The same principles apply to qualitative research and I wanted my students to be able to use cutting edge software to help nurture and develop their creativity in data analysis."

Dr. David Birks, Senior Lecturer, Marketing
University of Southampton

NVivo was invaluable in coding masses of data and, I am sure, contributed to my gaining a Distinction for the dissertation and MSc overall.
