The NCRM quick start guide: Teaching the analysis of big qual data

The sharing and re-use of data is priority for funding councils and this has recently led to initiatives in the world of qualitative data. NCRM researchers Lynn Jamieson, Ros Edwards, Susie Weller and Emma Davidson have been developing a new Breadth-and-Depth Method for big qual analysis. Sarah Lewthwaite and Melanie Nind have been working with them to consider the practical challenges of teaching and learning a method like this that is so new. Through a series of cycles of discussion, teaching, reflection and revision, the combined team have developed some guidance for teaching this method. If you teach secondary qualitative data analysis or a related method you might find some of the guidance useful to your own context.
