摘要：The recent COVID-19 pandemic has initiated a paradigm shift in using technology in almost all research, teaching and learning matters. However, very often, focus is laid on the students, and there is a dearth of research about the impact on the researchers. This research gap initiated the embarkation of this research to explore the role of the researchers in using qualitative data analysis software. Specifically, it seeks to delineate the position of the researcher in a qualitative research. This paper presents some preliminary findings on the use of technology (i.e. Qualitative data analysis software) and manual methodology in analysing some qualitative data pertaining to educators’ lived experiences. Data were collected using active interview methodology to study the lived experiences of the English lecturers. The finding also suggests that qualitative research could boost its reliability and validity in the analyses and findings by combining the use technology in analysing data and human’s ability and instinct. This is because the role of the researchers must be acknowledged and bracketed so that the data analysis can yield more significant results.
