Qualitative Research Methods, QDA, Scoping ReviewAbstract
Qualitative methods allow for a wide variety of research designs, which have as a common characteristic the investigation of phenomena in depth, being possible the use of qualitative data analysis software (QDAS). This article aimed at analyzing methodological procedures for the application of QDA software, considering the research procedure, source of data, data collection and data analysis, in order to provide an overview of the application of this technology. The investigation consisted of an exploratory research of a qualitative nature conducted by means of a scoping review of the literature carried out in the IEEE Xplore® digital library, ACM Digital library and the database EBSCO. After applying the research protocol, containing the inclusion and exclusion criteria, one obtained a total amount of 20 selected results, which were categorized according to the information provided by the authors. The results indicate that the QDAs should be considered as tools to support qualitative research, helping the researcher in the organization and analysis of unstructured data, classification of information, analysis of relationships and links between data. QDAs use is very diverse, however, it is important to highlight that the QDA functionalities do not replace or supplant the skills and competences of the researcher who, as a system user, needs to be able to design quality research, ascertain data samples consistent with the object of research, as well as have the necessary knowledge of the features that the QDAs offer, for its proper use, since these points influence the result
