StudentSurvey.ie Autumn Workshop: Qualitative data analysis - results & methods recording
Chaired by Dr Suzanne Guerin (University College Dublin), this session gave attendees insight into the results and methods of four research projects carried out to analyse qualitative data generated by StudentSurvey.ie and PGR StudentSurvey.ie.
Dr Darragh McCashin spoke first on behalf of the project authored by himself and Christine Boyd of DCU School of Psychology. Access his presentation here.
Dr Sarah Diffley (Atlantic Technological University) represented a research team which included Dr. Lydia Devenney, Dr. Isobel Cunningham & Dr. Vicky O’Rourke. Access her presentation here.
Dr Rory McDaid (Marino Institute of Education) provided insights into the results of PGR StudentSurvey.ie through his synthesis of research carried out with Dr Michelle Share and Dr Caitríona Delaney of Trinity College Dublin. Access his presentation here.
Finally, Dr Stephen Erskine spoke on behalf of the project authored by Insight Statistical Consulting. Access his presentation here.
Analysis of the StudentSurvey.ie and PGR StudentSurvey.ie qualitative data is crucial, but it is also time-consuming and requires some expertise in the methods being used. We hope the outputs of the research commissioned by StudentSurvey.ie in 2020-2021 give you important insight into the results at a national level and inspire you to apply similar methods to your institution's data.
