Playing With Data: A Board Game-Inspired Technique to Engage Local Stakeholders in Participatory Qualitative Analysis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Involving local stakeholders in qualitative data analysis often demands significant time, resources, and skilled facilitation to ensure effective participation. This tutorial provides step-by-step guidance on a game-inspired approach that makes participatory qualitative analysis more accessible and time efficient. By framing the analytical process as a board game, this technique addresses common barriers by simplifying and structuring stakeholder involvement. The tutorial outlines a three-step process in which local stakeholders participate in the second step, working with condensed, pre-coded data fragments in a game-like setting to address key questions. This approach has shown utility in involving diverse stakeholder groups in qualitative analysis while managing resource demands.
