As diverse members of a college of education evaluation committee one of our charges is to support faculty as we document and improve our teaching. Our committee asked faculty to respond to three qualitative questions, documenting ways in which interdepartmental and cross-department conversations are used to promote reflective thinking about our practice. Three of us investigated the use of CAQDAS to provide an additional level of analysis and how we learned more about ourselves as scholars through this collaboration. Our findings include recommendations regarding the use of CAQDAS to support collaborative efforts by diverse scholars.

This research aims to identify the Malay principal form in the roof decorative elements of Rumah Limas Bumbung Perak (RLBP). Through site observation, the data is collected in the form of images and analysed using the CAQDAS (Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) of Atlas Ti. 8. The findings of the research found that there are four Malay principal forms; Gunungan, Buah Guntung, Lebah Bergantung and Pohon Beringin present in the roof decorative elements of RLBP. The similarity and uniformity in the engagement of the form and its meaning is identifiable with the traditional houses of the other region which indicates a uniform understanding of the belief system and practises of the craftsmens throughout the Peninsula.

Este artigo propõe contribuir para a reflexão sobre o processo de curadoria digital, no intuito de discorrer sobre algumas das principais concepções sobre curadoria digital em diferentes contextos, tanto por autores brasileiros quanto estrangeiros, de modo a elucidar e aproximar o tema na organização e gestão de dados em Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS). Para alcançar tal objetivo, esta pesquisa se utilizou de metodologia qualitativa de cunho descritivo, possibilitada por uma revisão sistemática da literatura de trabalhos científicos sobre o tema da curadoria digital, a partir de buscas em uma base de dados acadêmicas (Scopus) e em uma base da literatura cinzenta (Banco de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES). Como resultados, constatou-se que as concepções sobre curadoria digital convergem para diferentes práticas de curadoria de conteúdo, curadoria digital de dados de pesquisa ou eScience e curadoria digital. Também constatou-se que a curadoria digital pode ser aplicada em diferentes contextos, como bases de dados colaborativas, redes sociais, repositórios, gerenciadores de dados qualitativos, preservação do acervo de objetos culturais digitais, além da organização de dados qualitativos em CAQDAS e também como proposta metodológica no processo de ensino.

Big qualitative data (Big Qual), or research involving large qualitative data sets, has introduced many newly evolving conventions that have begun to change the fundamental nature of some qualitative research. In this methodological essay, we first distinguish big data from big qual. We define big qual as data sets containing either primary or secondary qualitative data from at least 100 participants analyzed by teams of researchers, often funded by a government agency or private foundation, conducted either as a stand-alone project or in conjunction with a large quantitative study. We then present a broad debate about the extent to which big qual may be transforming some forms of qualitative inquiry. We present three questions, which examine the extent to which large qualitative data sets offer both constraints and opportunities for innovation related to funded research, sampling strategies, team-based analysis, and computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS). The debate is framed by four related trends to which we attribute the rise of big qual: the rise of big quantitative data, the growing legitimacy of qualitative and mixed methods work in the research community, technological advances in CAQDAS, and the willingness of government and private foundations to fund large qualitative projects.

This research explores the qualitative researchers’ perceptions of computer assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS) through content analysis of blogs. The purpose of this exploratory work is to understand the existing relationships that scholars have with CAQDAS, and how the use of these tools promotes or hinders engagement during the research process.Au moyen d’une analyse de contenu de blogues, cette recherche explore les perceptions qu’ont les chercheurs qui emploient des techniques qualitatives à l’égard d’un logiciel (CAQDAS) d’analyse de données qualitatives assistée par ordinateur. L’objectif de cette phase exploratoire est de comprendre la relation existante entre les chercheurs et CAQDAS et comment l’utilisation de ce type d’outils engendre ou empêche l’engagement durant le processus de recherche.

RESUMO O presente artigo pretende discutir o papel do uso de ferramentas digitais na pesquisa e na escrita da história, refletindo sobre as transformações e os desafios no modo de produção do conhecimento na prática de investigação da ciência histórica, abordando dois aspectos fundamentais: a) o progressivo uso de fontes de pesquisa provenientes de acervos ou repositórios digitais, por meio da análise da Hemeroteca Digital Brasileira (HDB) da Biblioteca Nacional (BN); e b) a maneira como os aplicativos de análises de dados qualitativos - CAQDAS, acrônimo do inglês computer assisted qualitative data analysis software - podem servir para minimizar os problemas e as limitações gerados pelo uso inadvertido e com pouco rigor metodológico das ferramentas digitais. Aqui, utilizaremos o programa ATLAS.ti como exemplo. Concluímos que a busca e a análise digital transformam não apenas a pesquisa histórica, mas possibilitam novas perguntas, problemas e respostas, impactando tanto a teoria quanto o método da disciplina.
