Komputerowe wspomaganie jakościowej analizy treści

Abstract

The traditional approach to qualitative data analysis does not employ computers in interpreting outcomes. However, qualitative analysis supported by computer software is becoming more and more popular in ethnography, hermeneutic, and narrative studies. In this paper, I present the different types of software that might be used in content analysis. I intend to show that these programs incorporate traditional procedures used by generations of researchers. They are also efficient, faster and significantly reduce the number of errors. In conclusion, utilizing these software packages enables the researcher to maintain control of decision-making in qualitative data analysis, and the intersujectivity produced by the software leads to consistency in data interpretation.
