Becoming a Weak Educational Leader in Neoliberal Corporate Culture
School of Foundations, Leadership, and Administration, Kent State University
How they used Delve
A Doctor of Education candidate at Kent State University used Delve to code his own research journal in an autoethnographic study of becoming a "weak" educational leader inside a neoliberal corporate culture, running a deductive pass against a code list and then inductive coding, alongside NVivo.
“After the data collection period closed, I exported my journal into a text format and uploaded the text into the Delve tool. This allowed me a simple and organized way to review my entire data set with the iterative deductive analysis I performed within my data collection period. Then within the Delve tool I conducted one overall deductive analysis pass”
