Event description

“Using numbers in qualitative research – is it ever OK?”  

This session is part of the series: Qualitative Data Analysis at UTS. The aim of this series is to showcase and celebrate the diverse and innovative ways UTS researchers are working with qualitative data, unpack some underlying principles of qualitative data analysis, and explore some qualitative data theoretical frameworks.  

In this workshop, Dr Erin Turbitt will discuss issues with using numbers (such as frequency counts of themes or concepts) in qualitative research and the key reasons why it is generally not appropriate. We will also touch on instances where it may be appropriate to use numbers and the importance of justifying those decisions. The related concept of generalisability will also be explored. 

Learning outcomes: 

  1. Learn about when you should and should not use quantitative summaries in qualitative analysis and reporting
  2. Learn how to identify whether researchers have appropriately used numbers in qualitative research reports
