The next drop down now allows selecting an attribute for analyzing nodes. Figure 8: Selecting ‘Value’ parameter in search panel Since, school location is content variable, select “equals value” in the next drop down (figure 9). For instance, to analyze the performance and participation of students based on their school location. Next, choose the values of attributes to research in the selected nodes. Figure 7: Selecting the concerned attribute Step 3: Choosing values of attributes Select the concerned attribute (like location in case research) and click on ‘OK’. Figure 6: Select drop down option for ‘Attribute’Īfter clicking on the three dots, a dialogue box will appear to select the required attribute for performing coding query. Just like in case of nodes, click on three dots in adjacent and select concerned attribute (location in case research) to perform the coding query. Select ‘Any Case Where’, since the next item for Nvivo coding query is attribute. Figure 5: Adding another drop down icon in search To get another drop down icon for selecting attribute, click on the “+” sign. The next step is to select the attribute (location as per our question). Figure 4: Dialogue box representing concerned codes Step 2: Select attribute Select the concerned nodes students’ participation and performance in case research and click on ‘OK’.
It shows all the nodes, cases, sources and classification to select for coding queries. Figure 3: To locate the concerned nodes in coding queryĪfter clicking on the three dots, a dialogue box will appear. In the case research, the concerned nodes are students’ participation and performance. Click on three dots (‘…’) to locate the concerned nodes to perform query. Since this query is based on two nodes, select ‘Any Selected Code’. Figure 2: Coded at options to select concerned nodes Step 1: Selecting concerned nodes Selecting two of three drop down options in the present case ‘All Selected Case’ and then narrowing the choice with either ‘Any Selected Node’ or ‘Any Case Where’ will show an additional drop down icon. ‘Any Case Where’ option helps in coding queries based on attributes like in present case, school location as South Delhi. ‘Any Selected Code’ helps to compare or explore two nodes simultaneously like in the present case, student’s participation and student’s performance. ‘All Selected Cases’ helps to explore only a single node. This icon contains three drop down options: Click on the icon ‘All Selected Nodes’ as shown in the figure above. The selected ones will easily perform a query. There are various search drop down icons in ‘Coding Query’ window.

To find out if the two nodes concerning ‘students’ performance’ and ‘students’ participation’ have any common code (node to node comparison query). For instance, in the case research, query regarding students’ performance in South Delhi schools (query on nodes regarding location attributes). One of the ways for asking questions is to generate an Nvivo coding query. word frequency and coding matrix are covered in the proceeding articles.Īfter coding (manual or auto), questions related to it can arise. This article covers the first type, coding query.

There are three different query tools in Nvivo Pro and Nvivo Plus: For instance, the relationship between two nodes or one node and an attribute in qualitative analysis. A ‘Query’ is generated to answer a question related to the project.
‘Queries’ in such situations assists in establishing connections and analyzing them. Therefore examining elements and checking if such connection is possible is also challenging. Given the vast array of nodes generated, researchers find it difficult to connect two nodes. Nvivo coding query eases the understanding of nodes and their interconnections. The next step after processing data through coding and creating memos and classifications is analysis.
