Abstract

The plan of activities of Prof. Dra. Worthy Couso involves to work in set with our team in the treatment, analysis and interpretation of qualitative data (recordings, filmings, texts) by means of used computerized programs.t is about one technique of very recent analysis, that is added to the old ways to treat and to analyses given qualitative, typical of research in the areas of humanities, based on reading and construction of categories for the researcher himself. The development of programs computerized in last the 20 years, allowed a reliability in the use of that they had become practically the majority technique in some areas of knowledge, as social psychology. The great advantage in the use of such programs is associated with the possibility to treat research with diverse types of sources (written filmings, interviews, productions etc) and great amounts of data. The research that however we develop has these two features, that is diversity of sources and great amount of data. In the period that the researcher will be here, the workshop will be one form to form the researchers of the group in the use of such programs, in particular the ATLAS.ti, adquirido for the group. The workshop will be made using the obtained data already in the research developed in the NUPIC. Beyond the work on analysis of data, the researcher will make two seminaries for a ampler public. (AU)
