Abstract
This study examined how qualitative content analysis could identify thematic trends in presentations of the Global Awareness Network of the National Association for Gifted Children conventions between 2001 and 2010. Utilizing a Qualitative Data Analysis software called nVivo, researchers input ten years of convention program information and analyzed both titles and descriptions for themes. These themes were coded within the software and then uploaded into bar graphs, highlighting common themes that emerged across network presentations in any given year. Unique themes were also represented. Results were considered for their use to inform current and future instruction of gifted learners.
