Teachers' Perceptions When Working With Students Who Have Mild Intellectual Disabilities

How they used Delve

A doctoral candidate at Walden University used Delve to code 11 semi-structured interviews with educators who teach students with mild intellectual disabilities, using in vivo coding and thematic analysis in a generic qualitative study of teachers' perceptions.

“Next, I coded on the "Delve tool" coding software program by using in vivo codes, which are direct phrases or words from participants, preserving their original language”
