![]() Recordings and with "reading" the wide variety of video material they are presented with. They are often familiar with making their own video The now widespread CCTV (Closed Circuit Television) security systems. This means that the technology is more available to researchers, butĪlso that the people being researched are more used to being recorded by the technology and even familiar with using it themselves.įor example, in the case of video, people are now used to being recorded whether as part of a "holiday video" or as part of First it has become cheaper and more widespread. Recent changes in this technology have taken severalįorms. There is a long history of their use in manyĪreas of social and psychological research and especially in anthropology. Īudio recording is an analogue technology, as are film and traditional video. That in most cases, the use of new technology usually affects both. Technology: new ways of recording and collecting data, and new ways of undertaking the analysis. The papers in this issue address both these impacts of the ![]() Or less well founded than those gained in more traditional ways. Should be analysed, how it should be analysed and in what ways the knowledge and understanding gained are different and more In the 21st century, the use of new technology still raises issues like what Makes possible has continued to the present day. The dual impact of new technology both on what kinds of data can be collected and recorded and on what kinds of analysis it Up the possibilities of much larger scale studies and the use of multiple researchers and analysts. This made possible a focus on the small scale and minute content and characteristics of speech. Second, it allowed different kinds of analysis that could only be undertaken if accurate records of the speech ![]() That new ways of thinking about how the analysis developed out of the data and how the analysis was supported by the dataīecame possible. Having a recording and a transcript meant The relationship between the data and the emerging analytic ideas of the researcher. This separation had an impact not only on how close to (or distant from) the data the researcher could remain, but also on Of sessions from the researcher (who traditionally took handwritten notes) to others, such as secretaries and audio typists. First, it began to shift the effort of work in making a record In one sense this was clearly an easier way for researchers to keep a record of eventsĪnd conversations, but it had two unforeseen consequences. ![]() Perhaps the earliest use of technology in qualitative research was when researchers first used tape recorders in their field Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis (CAQDAS) Key words: CAQDAS, computer assisted qualitative data analysis, images, video, digital data, validity, reliability, coding, code andģ. Made possible by the use of new technology. At the same time there is now evidence of analytic developments Or merely assist with its development by human researchers. Nevertheless, there is still much debate about the degree to which CAQDAS can itself produce qualitative analysis The diversity of software means that there is a need for standards for storing and exchanging qualitative dataĪnd analyses. Such software and, in response to demand, developers are still adding new features and functions that researchers need to Of analysing data through computer assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDAS) are now possible. Digital technology has also meant that new ways However, such developments raise issues about the way researchersĬollect, process and publish data and how they produce high quality analyses. Qualitative data and new settings in which to collect it. The parallel growth of the Internet also makes available new ways of collecting The digital form much audio and video data now takes makes possible new ways ofĬreating, processing and analysing such data. Of data and as tools for data collection. The spread of video and photographic technology means that images can be used both as sources This paper sets in context the contributions in this issue of FQS by examining these developments. MangabeiraĪbstract: As society transforms and is transformed by new technology, so there are new ways in which qualitative researchers collectĪnd analyse data and new forms of data to collect. The Use of New Technology in Qualitative Research.
