Event Details

    Our Qualitative Data Analysis Camp fosters data-based decision-making, reflection and strategizing about your analysis approach with guidance from the ResearchTalk mentor team.

    Our camp participants appreciate the opportunity to give themselves “permission” to spend time with their data, away from their busy work and family lives, with coaching from our team of experts.

    Camp participants report feeling re-energized by learning how to truly be directed by data content using the Sort and Sift, Think and Shift method.

Overview of the Sort and Sift, Think and Shift Approach

  • Sort and Sift, Think and Shift: Let the Data Be Your Guide

    The Sort and Sift, Think and Shift qualitative data analysis approach, created by Ray Maietta and his consulting team at ResearchTalk Inc. (Alison Hamilton, Paul Mihas, Kevin Swartout and Jeff Petruzzelli) is an iterative process in which analysts dive into data to understand its content, dimensions, and properties, and then step back to assess what they have learned to bridge findings with current conversations in the field. The approach is a data-driven process that is both flexible and fluid. Data content is directive as it helps researchers determine what to do when. The goal of the process is to arrive at an evidence-based meeting point that is a hybrid story of data content and researcher knowledge.
