How do you get an LLM to perform deductive coding, and explain itself?

Posted on by CIC Editor
Could we develop trustworthy "Belonging Analytics" from AI analysis of students' reflective writing? There's growing interest in the use of large language models (LLMs) like GPT, Gemini and Claude to assist with qualitative data analysis. In this work, we develop and evaluate a methodology to prompt GPT to perform theory-based deductive coding of student reflective writing. CIC PhD candidate Sriram Ramanathan is focused on what learning analytics can tell us about university students' se...
