LLM-Assisted Qualitative Coding Pipeline Developed for Educator-AI Interactions

Researchers have developed a novel multi-phase pipeline for qualitative analysis that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) with human expertise. This method was used to create a hierarchical codebook from a large dataset of K-12 educator interactions with an AI platform. The process involved LLMs generating initial labels and annotations, while human researchers maintained conceptual control, refining definitions and interpretive frameworks. The resulting codebook, comprising 72 items across 19 categories and six domains, was validated through systematic human coding, achieving reliability with multi-label annotation measures. AI

IMPACT This methodology offers a scalable approach for qualitative researchers to analyze large interaction corpora, potentially accelerating insights into AI use in educational settings.

    Human-LLM Collaborative Inductive Coding for Conceptualizing K-12 Educator AI Use

    arXiv:2607.28889v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Qualitative researchers increasingly encounter interaction corpora whose scale exceeds what manual coding alone can address, and large language models (LLMs) are frequently proposed as analytic assistants. The open questions are n…
