School Counseling in Hong Kong: A Multi-Stakeholder Perspective on Effectiveness

How they used Delve

A researcher at Hong Kong Shue Yan University used Delve's AI coding alongside NVivo and manual coding to analyze interviews with 75 stakeholders in Hong Kong school counseling, clustering inductive manifest codes into themes for a multi-stakeholder study of counseling effectiveness.

“The transcripts from each set of participants were coded inductively with manifest codes aligned closely to the participants' language (Maxwell, 2013). We used manual coding supplemented by artificial intelligence (AI) coding using NVivo and Delve software. Similar codes were clustered to form preliminary themes with a central organizing concept”
