Training Course on Qualitative Data Analysis using ATLAS.ti on 9th-11th February 2017 in Kampala
**What is ATLAS.ti?**ATLAS.ti is a powerful workbench for the qualitative analysis of large bodies of textual, graphical, audio, and video data. It offers a variety of tools for accomplishing the tasks associated with any systematic approach to unstructured data, i.e., data that cannot be meaningfully analyzed by formal, statistical approaches. In the course of such a qualitative analysis, ATLAS.ti helps you to explore the complex phenomena hidden in your data. For coping with the inherent complexity of the tasks and the data, ATLAS.ti offers a powerful and intuitive environment that keeps you focused on the analyzed materials. It offers tools to manage, extract, compare, explore, and reassemble meaningful pieces from large amounts of data in creative, flexible, yet systematic ways. ATLAS.ti has a free version but with limited access to help those with small survey/research projects.
Learning Objectives
i. Participants will learn about the methodological principles behind ATLAS.ti
ii. Participants will learn about the role of ATLAS.ti in the research process
iii. Participants will learn the fundamental functions and procedures of ATLAS.ti
iv. Participants will learn to use ATLAS.ti in data analysis following an approach emphasizing data integration, organization, and constant documentation of the process
v. Participants will also be introduced to Quantitative Data Analysis using SPSS and they will acquire all necessary skills to analyze Quantitative Data
Benefits of the Training workshop
a) Apart from ATLAS.ti, the participants will also be introduced to Quantitative Data Analysis using SPSS (Participants will acquire all necessary skills to analyze Quantitative Data using SPSS)
b) Participants will receive Certificate of Completion including all Modules covered in ATLAS.ti and SPSS.
