The online survey of qualitative and quantitative data processing

1 Research framework, research question, the nature and extent of data collection and methodological connection

1.1 Why this project?
In the years 2006 and 2007, the Working Empirical gik-teaching at the University of Marburg in question, an approach for the time-efficient execution of qualitative evaluations to develop 1: Inside of 100 working hours, a methodologically clean evaluation project from planning to Report constitution implemented. At the methodological reflection of the then-developed approach was one of the central criticisms of the fact that, in spite of the presented time-le-economic approach merely a small number of volunteers / s with such an investigation could be involved. Especially in the context of an evaluation, so the evaluation of programs and activities will remain so - despite the many convincing advantages of the qualitative approach - always open the question of whether the probands not selected for a Ver undue distortion of the results. To deal with this issue, they have been presented in the following project with the working title E-Valuation launched, where we eineuniversitäre course with 250 participants using an online questionnaire-ne have evaluated.
1.2 The objectives of the project
The objectives of e-Valuation can assign three levels: the methodological level, technology level and the level of MAXQDA-Anwendung.Auf method level should be investigated, which added an online survey in mixed-method design, ie with a high proportion of both quantitative and qualitative elements, among a larger number of volunteers compared with a purely qualitative or quantitative evaluation has. As for such an application so far documented procedures exist, were appropriate and time-te-ressourceneffizien collection and analysis procedures to develop, with the aspect of profitable connection open and standardized data processing collected as a central element came from. The developed method should be fully documented and prepared in such a way, so that they are interested-ing as an inspiration for their own work can be used.

Survey Design - personal questionnaire

For the personal questionnaire to generate the same passwords ( "all people have the same password ') in the number of passwords you for the first questionnaire was drawn up. Since all of the personal passwords are the same questionnaire, these can be used as links. This link causes the automatic password-protected login maq on the survey design and provides for personal data. This link will embed it in the first questionnaire at the end of the consultation exercise. If the interviewer at the end of the survey and clicks the link, it immediately to the questionnaire with the query of the personal data forwarded.

How do you now this link?

At the point at which the embedded link will generate a new Item ( "plain text") with the following HTML snippet:

<a href=[hier comes the link rein]> [here comes a pure description] </ a>

Instead of the square brackets, together with their contents, then add your data. This can for example look like this:

Instead, [here comes a description of pure] is there: this is to participate in the raffle of Caprios.

The experienced html coders will recognize that the link is written without quotes. This is important because otherwise the link is not working.

There are now two questionnaires, there are also two results files. A file containing the results of the survey data and a file containing personal data.

In the result files is quite a long number and letters to find the unique identifier (a so-called hash value). This is identical in both files. This is only the assignment (as requested) on a code possible.
What if make unique identifiers do not match?

If they are not identical, then that is a sign of manipulation. It may then be that the link in the first interview given to third parties and their addresses, the survey conducted without it. Due to the different unique IDs may be easy but the fraud is detected.
