The 4-Step Thematic Data Analysis With MAXQDA

This book presents a simplified approach for analyzing qualitative data using the thematic data analysis process advocated by Saldaña (2015). The book is specifically designed for PhD, DBA, and EdD students pursuing research in the qualitative methodology. The book includes the Data Analysis Procedures and the Results sections from my published dissertation, which first used the approach discussed in the book. Despite its theoretical orientation, the book provides practical examples of specific steps students can take using the MAXQDA software to organize, prepare, and analyze their data. The book is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 discusses ways to handle and manage your qualitative data. Part 2 discusses the four-step thematic analysis process for analyzing your qualitative data. Part 3 is a copy of the Data Analysis Procedures and the Results sections from my published dissertation, which put the book into context for doctoral students.
