Summary

The course focuses primarily on developing core competencies in the use of Atlas ti qualitative analysis software. The use of the software, as is logical to think, is not intended to replace the work of the researcher, but rather to present him with a tool that could facilitate the research process and thus provide it with greater validity and richness.
