Abstract

Qualitative data analysis requires specialized software to facilitate the systematic interpretation and organization of textual data. Given the complexity of qualitative research, researchers often rely on digital tools to enhance efficiency. This study explores user experiences with QDA Miner Lite, a qualitative data analysis software, by examining feedback and discussions from platforms such as Reddit and YouTube. A literature review also investigates previous studies' use of the software, shedding light on its perceived advantages and limitations. A media content analysis was conducted to assess real-world experiences and user satisfaction. Anticipated results suggest that while QDA Miner Lite is an effective tool for basic qualitative research, its limited functionalities may pose challenges for more intricate analyses. The findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of QDA Miner Lite’s potential applications in qualitative research, offering guidance for users in selecting appropriate tools based on their analytical needs.
