Origins Text analysis
General Inquirer (content analysis)
Word processors and desktop computers 1984 onwards
Dedicated programs - Code-and-retrieve The Ethnograph Hypersoft

Code-and-retrieve Coding - mark text with code Code list Retrieve - show all text coded the same way.
Some complex retrievals - text coded with two codes.

Command line vs WIMP Command line e.g. ‘Moveto 4,41’
Complaints Hard to use Remote from data
WIMP = Windows, icon, menu, pointer.
Made use much easier

New functions – Theory Building Memos Search (text and codes) Charts Link with quants data Textual analysis tools Relations Word and pdf documents Images, video and audio GIS

Debates about CAQDAS Distant from data Too easy to move to quantify Dominance of code and retrieve
Vs narrative thread Vs postmodern variation
Fragmentation and decontextualisation Coding loses interaction in focus groups
Needs time and resources to learn

Advantage of CAQDAS Faster and more efficient Helps explanations (eg. Use face sheet data)
Supports transparency Code trees encourage looking at connections
Avoids anecdotalism - can check frequency
