This article is the result of a paper presented at the XII National Congress on Education (EDUCERE), in which we discussed the process of appropriation of the ATLAS.ti software by graduate students engaged in qualitative data analyses processes. The graduate students on which the article is based had enrolled in the class ‘Analysis of qualitative data using technological resources’, which has been offered at the Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR) since 2004, as well as on students who took equivalent courses in other universities, all of them using ATLAS.ti. In the article, we present experiences related to their usage of the software. We looked at the need to provide training to students on qualitative data analysis as methodology. We make the point that lack of methodological expertise, rather than technological barriers, shapes some of the participants’ decision not to continue using the software. We also notice the use of the software is facilitated by having knowledge and expertise on qualitative methodology.

Keywords : Qualitative data analysis; ATLAS.ti; Teacher training.
