  • Data Analysis in R: Online

    20 January - 4 February 2025

    Data Analysis in R: Online https://dresa.org.au/events/data-analysis-in-r This course is intended for applied data analysts, including academics and postgraduate students, policy specialists and others. It will examine questions dealt with in public policy, the social sciences and industry, using real data. This includes surveys, and economics and public health data. The unit will help build participants’ ability to work with data in R and undertake rigorous statistical analysis, including spatial analysis and linear regression, and create publication-standard graphs of the results. The end result will be more professional and easy to understand research. Exercises will be provided, including additional problems and datasets for extra practice outside of scheduled sessions, and one-on-one consultations can be scheduled by appointment the following week. 2025-01-20 10:00:00 UTC 2025-02-04 16:00:00 UTC ACSPRI online, Australia online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 workshop open_to_all Introduction to RR statistical softwareR statisticsStatisticsStatistical Methods

  • Qualitative Research: Design, Analysis and Representation

    3 - 7 February 2025

    Parkville, Australia

    Qualitative Research: Design, Analysis and Representation https://dresa.org.au/events/qualitative-research-design-analysis-and-representation-9e3c11c2-470a-4eac-aff9-625df80944e9 The focus of this course is on issues of design and positioning, analysis and representation of qualitative research. This course only provides a generic overview of data collection methods, as it is assumed that participants will have experience with methods. Many of the examples will make reference to research in business, psychology and health. The target audience for this course are researchers, practitioners and academics who have conducted at least one qualitative study, and are familiar with the process and context of qualitative research. 2025-02-03 09:00:00 UTC 2025-02-07 15:00:00 UTC ACSPRI The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia The University of Melbourne Parkville Australia 3052 ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 20 [] open_to_all Qualitative ResearchQualitative methodsqualitative data

  • Social Media Network and Text Analysis: Online

    10 - 13 February 2025

    Social Media Network and Text Analysis: Online https://dresa.org.au/events/social-media-network-and-text-analysis-online-f6093406-3c70-4ce9-b6bc-95bcc4a4898d This course introduces participants to approaches for collecting and analysing network and text data from social media, (Reddit, YouTube and Mastodon) and the WWW (hyperlink networks). In terms of analysis, the focus is on the application of social network analysis (SNA) and quantitative text analysis to online data. While the main software used in the course is R, we also introduce Gephi for advanced visualisation. Data collection is via the VOSON R Packages (VOSON Dashboard, vosonSML). We also cover other important R packages for network and text analysis such as: igraph (network analysis and visualisation), quanteda (quantitative analysis of textual data), tidytext (text mining), and wordcloud (text word clouds). The course will be particularly useful to academics and PhD students who want to become more computationally literate, and those from technical disciplines (e.g. computer science, engineering, information science) who want to become more familiar with social science approaches to analysing social media data. The course will also be useful for people from industry and government whose work involves quantitative analysis of social media data, e.g. for marketing, social research, public relations, brand management, journalism, opinion analysis. 2025-02-10 16:30:00 UTC 2025-02-13 21:30:00 UTC ACSPRI Online, Australia Online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au [] [] 12 workshop open_to_all social network researchSocial network analysissocial media dataR statistical softwarequantitativeRedditYouTubeMastodon

    Questionnaire Design: Online https://dresa.org.au/events/questionnaire-design-online-faf39ce5-2cb1-44a5-81f1-b9191d4a50a4 This two day workshop will focus on questionnaire design: types of questions, types of response categories, open versus closed ended questions, questionnaire layout and order of questions and questioning, common mistakes, pilot testing and specific issues such as “The importance of Cover Design.” The workshop includes practice designing the layout of surveys and practice critiquing and writing questions and responses. Topics that are covered include uses of surveys, constructing survey questions that are clear and unbiased, the need to match attitudinal or behavioral data collection with the purpose of the survey, and combining objective and open-ended questioning in order to enhance the usability of results. Types of data that can be collected in surveys will be covered, as well common mistakes made with surveys. The use of an internet survey tool will be demonstrated. 2025-04-03 10:00:00 UTC 2025-04-04 16:00:00 UTC ACSPRI online online ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 workshop open_to_all Questionnaire designsurvey designsurvey instrumentssurvey research

  • Discourse Analysis: Online

    28 - 29 April 2025

    Discourse Analysis: Online https://dresa.org.au/events/discourse-analysis-online Utilising existing data in qualitative research is extremely valuable either as a total data set in its own right or as a subset to enhance interview and observational data sets. Michael Foucault initiated the basic approach to dealing with existing spoken, written or visual data such as policy documents, case notes, photos, articles etc. and this was later further developed by Norman Fairclough into Critical Discourse analysis. This two-day online course will demonstrate with practical examples, the two major approaches to analysing dicourses: Foucauldian and Critical Discourse Analysis. 2025-04-28 09:30:00 UTC 2025-04-29 15:30:00 UTC ACSPRI online, Australia online Australia ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 [] open_to_all Qualitative ResearchQualitative methodsqualitativediscourse analysisqualitative data

The course covers the theoretical foundations of conducting focus groups, including their value, limitations, and ethical considerations. With a trauma-informed lens, participants will learn how to translate research questions into effective discussion guides and apply them in practice, using group activities for both face-to-face and online settings. The masterclass also includes opportunities to develop moderation skills and create materials for participants' own research projects (or someone else’s). Practical guidance will be provided on setting up a safe, engaging group environment (in-person or virtual), managing challenging group dynamics, handling logistical considerations, and preparing for the next steps in data analysis. 2025-05-12 09:30:00 UTC 2025-05-15 13:45:00 UTC ACSPRI online online ACSPRI info@acspri.org.au ph: +61 3 8376 6496 [] [] 12 workshop open_to_all Focus groupsfocus group designfocus group moderationqualitative dataqualitative interviewing
