Nvivo, after collecting and importing data, classifies the same in different nodes and applies coding, bringing them together under common themes. Nvivo replaces thematic connections with electronically produced coding Furthermore, carrying out a search electronically will yield more reliable results because human error is ruled out. Setting aside time, getting insightful answers using manual analysis are still difficult. In case where qualitative analysis is performed manually using a big sample, the chances of getting an accurate answer quickly are limited. Nvivo helps in finding answers to research questions in qualitative data easily.įor example, if researchers intend to search a project component in terms of attributes. In such case it is important to identify the sample of secondary school teachers from South Delhi and Nvivo can assist in finding an accurate answer for this. Nvivo minimises error through search facility However, to show the reliability and variability of this case, this article aims to assess the accuracy of results of Nvivo and thus, these methods. In order to explain the application of Nvivo, interview transcripts are used to analyse the case of assessing secondary education. Therefore, depicting reliability and validity of the present case (Nvivo) is important (Golafshani 2003). Earlier studies have shown that qualitative researches are biased as they are based on the researcher’s own interpretation. However, in the case of Nvivo, validity and reliability of the results or data representation are not sufficiently explained.
Therefore, reliability and validity can be achieved by maintaining quality, rigor and trustworthiness through processes such as triangulation. One can analyze data on the basis of individual understanding and interpretation of the responses, attitudes and behavior of the participants.
In majority of the cases, qualitative data is manually handled.
Qualitative analysis lacks details about methods used to generate results. Scholars have studied and acknowledged the significance of meeting the condition of reliability and validity in data for generating reliable results.
It is important to establish the reliability and validity of the data before going further into the procedure of using NVivo for qualitative data processing, manipulation, analysis and representation.
