Comparing the Impact of Traditional and Modern Mathematics Teaching in Bangladeshi Secondary Schools: A Mixed-Methods Study

How they used Delve

A master's student in Education at the Asian University of Women used Delve to code interview transcripts, open-ended survey answers, and observation notes from Bangladeshi secondary-school mathematics classes, comparing traditional and modern teaching in a mixed-methods thesis whose Delve codebook is appended.

“Quantitative data were analysed by SPSS using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, Chi-square tests, and regression analysis while qualitative responses were examined thematically using Delve software. [...] Responses were assigned with meaningful thematic codes such as students' expectations, peer vs individual learnings, teachers' behaviour”
