Generative AI and SoTL: Qualitative Example

Here are the step-by-step instructions for using qualitative data to generate new responses using ChatGPT:

  1. Collect qualitative data from surveys or focus groups with your student participants. This data can include open-ended questions that allow students to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in their own words.

  2. Organize the data by theme or topic to make it easier to input into ChatGPT. For example, if you asked students about their experience with remote learning, you could group their responses by topics such as technology, communication, or motivation.

  3. Input the data into ChatGPT by copying and pasting the responses into the text box. Choose the appropriate response length and select the "generate" button to generate new responses based on the input data.

  4. Review the new responses generated by ChatGPT and analyze how they relate to the original data collected from students. Use this new knowledge obtained to construct better questions for interviews and questionnaires that will help you gain a deeper understanding of your student participants' experiences and needs.

Here's an example of how you might apply this process to a specific research question:

Research Question: What are the barriers to student engagement in remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic?

Step 1: Collect qualitative data from student participants through a survey that includes open-ended questions about their experiences with remote learning during the pandemic.

Step 2: Organize the data by theme, such as technical difficulties, lack of motivation, and distractions.

Step 3: Input the data into ChatGPT to generate new responses that might help you better understand these themes. For example, you might input the response "I find it hard to stay focused when I'm working from home" into ChatGPT and generate new responses such as "Distractions are a major challenge for many students during remote learning" or "Creating a dedicated workspace at home can help improve student focus during remote learning."

Step 4: Use this new knowledge to construct better interview and questionnaire questions that will give you deeper insight into the barriers to student engagement in remote learning during the pandemic. For example, you might ask students about specific distractions they face during remote learning or about strategies they use to stay motivated.
