“Remember that NVivo

can help you to manage,

explore and find patterns

in your data but it cannot

replace your analytical

expertise.”

12

Components of NVivo

project

Here is the structure of NVivo

project

13

Prepare documents for

import

Use Excel to document the demographics of your participants.

Use Word (texts or table) to document video and audio contents.

14

Data: Files

Use folders to organize

your data

Files are your primary

sources materials.

We create three

subfolders under Files

15

Bring your data into NVivo

Highlight Files and Click

Create tab, select Folder

We need to create three

folders: interview, dataset,

and picture

16

Bring your data into NVivo

Highlight Files and Click

Import datasets into NVivo

Import Excel dataset

Our example contains survey responses.

With brief text entries will serve as classifications (such as age or gender).

Click Datasets sub-folder

Click Data > Survey > From Microsoft Excel File

41

Import dataset into NVivo

Import > Excel

42


The respondents will be

stored as cases.

Closed-ended questions

(demographics) are

created as case attributes.

Open-ended questions are

created as nodes.

Click Next to get

45

The ID variable in our dataset is Respondent. The name

of new classification sheet is Survey Respondent. You

can change the name to something else.


We need to tell NVivo

the type of survey

questions: closed-ended

or open-ended

46


Click Next to get

47


Click Finish

Inside Datasets folder, we see

imported Survey data excel

file.

Click Nodes > Survey data: we

see

49


Click Nodes > Survey data

50

Five new nodes were automatically created

based on five open-ended questions. The

number of references is 104 because we have

104 respondents.


Click Cases > Survey data

51

They are case

nodes.


Select any case node and

right click, choose Open

Classification Sheet

52


Unver Cases, Click

Classifications > Case

Classifications

If we click the plus sign in front

of Survey Repondent, we will

get a detailed information of

this classification.

53


Case classification

54

ReturnDate, Township,

etc., are

demographics. They

are also attributes. You

can click each

attribute to edit.

Codes: Nodes

Node: a place to store

references about themes,

case, or relationship.

Two types of nodes

Theme nodes

Case nodes

55

Nodes

Theme nodes: “a collection

of references about a

specific theme, topic,

concept, idea or

experience.”

We gather evidence for

themes by coding data at

the node.

56

Nodes

Case node: a place to

store demographics

attributes to a case

Use them as the basis for

comparison

57

Coding

Coding data is a way of

gathering references to a

specific topic, theme,

person or other entity.

The process of coding can

generate themes.

58

Coding

Coding strategies

Working in a data file, select

content and code it.

Auto coding: for survey

questions

Coding using queries: Word

frequency and text search

Coding in a node

59

Theme nodes

The references are stored in a

node.

The same piece of text can

be stored in many nodes.

You can store portions of

image, video, or audio in a

node.

60

Create a new node folder

Nodes can be stored under

the general Nodes folder or subfolders.

Examples: create a new

node subfolder labeled as:

Themes.

61

Create theme nodes and

CodingCreate a node without

coding

Example: one theme

emerged from the data:

Environmental change.

Open Themes folder

Create > Node

Type Environmental change.

62


Coding

63


Coding

Interview of Barbara as an

example

Read the content and

highlight anything related to

any new themes

Drag the content to

environmental change node

64


Coding

We also use the same content

to create a new node called

Water quality

Drag the same content to the

left side

65


Coding

We get this window: type the

name of the new node

66


Coding

Here is the result: inside Themes

folder, we have two nodes.

67


Coding

Open any node, then open the

source data

The coded texts or sentences are

highlighted.

68

Case nodes

In NVivo, cases are nodes that

represent subjects in research

study.

We can have case nodes for

people, places, organizations,

etc.

Case nodes are connected to

the case classification

69

Case nodes

Create a case node

We want to create case nodes

for people who were

interviewed.

First create a folder called

Interview participants inside

Case folder

30 most frequently used

words

87


Summary

88


Highlight any word and

right click, we can add

this word to the Stop

Query: text search

Read highlighted texts

and code them into new

nodes or into existing

nodes.

99

Relationship nodes

Relationships must be based on existing

items

Relationship nodes consist of three

elements

Two project items

A relationship type

Nvivo includes only one relationship

type by default, Associated. You can

create additional types.
