The sketchbook as a learning tool to support student well-being: Examining the perspectives and practices of visual art teachers

How they used Delve

A Master of Education student at Brock University used Delve to code open-ended questionnaire responses from six visual-art teachers about sketchbooks as a learning tool for student well-being, combining inductive and deductive codes in a thematic analysis and keeping memos inside Delve.

“My use of Google Forms allowed for meticulous record keeping of responses, and my use of the DELVE Qualitative analysis tool ensured I could compare and contrast all responses to ensure all perspectives were represented. [...] organized all my data in DELVE qualitative analysis software and recorded memos within the program.”
