![]() ![]() ![]() – “MAXQDA is not a method!”, I always warned my students. Even more surprising was their answer: yes, it sort of is. I am using and teaching MAXQDA for years, so what can it possibly tell me? As it turned out, right in the first chapter I stumbled upon an interesting question: “Is MAXQDA actually a method?” they ask. I am currently reading “Analyse qualitativer Daten mit MAXQDA” (Analysis of qualitative Data with MAXQDA) by Stefan Rädiker and Udo Kuckarzt (Rädiker Kuckartz 2019) and to be honest, I did not expect too much. However, it is not a method in itself and we always need some external “building plan”(a method) to guide us. Granted, QDA-software is far from methodologically neutral and strongly influences the way we design our research. ![]()
