Interviewing is one of the most frequently used research tools in
the social sciences, yet its importance as a technique is usually
underestimated. As Janet Powney and Mike Watts point out, the
practical difficulties of interviewing are often understated, and
the theoretical assumptions and implications of conducting
interviews can prejudice a researcher's conclusions. Originally
published in 1987, this introductory, practical guide widens the
debate about interviewing with discussion and advice on
interviewing in different kinds of educational inquiry, ranging
from large-scale surveys to research carried out in individual
schools. The authors give guidelines for preparing, conducting,
reporting and analysing interviews, and discuss the practical and
theoretical problems arising from each of these aspects. Examples
are taken from six case studies contributed by researchers who have
conducted interviews for different purposes and in different ways.
Interviewing in Educational Research will be valuable to students
and researchers in many fields, not only in educational research,
but generally in the social sciences, in medical research,
economics, business, social planning and administration.
