This study explores the use of generative AI, specifically Google's Bard and OpenAI's ChatGPT, to enhance qualitative research within higher education assessment, focusing on institutional assessment practitioners. Using a dataset focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from annual faculty assessment reports, we tested traditional…

Today, the use of software in qualitative research analysis is rapidly becoming widespread among researchers. Researchers manage large data sets using features such as editing data, transcribing, creating codes, and searching within data. However, while the data analysis uses software in a format, the analysis of the essence of the data is done by…

This study explores the integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into qualitative research within a higher education context. Through a collaborative self-study, a doctoral candidate and their dissertation supervisor examined the application of Google's Gemini 1.5 to analyze interview data from a dissertation of practice (DiP)…
