ANSWER
INTERVIEW
Interviewing involves the
interaction in which an interviewer collects information from students with a
sequence of questions and listens for answers. This kind of interaction can be
a rich source of information to inform the teacher about how the student
understands concepts and use procedures they learned from the course, and
provides valuable information and directions for the teacher in modifying the course
for improvements.
How to design a good Interview Assessment?
- Try to make the student feel relaxed and comfortable during the interview because interviews can generate the most fruitful sharing when a trustful rapport is established.
- Practicing can help to ensure that the interview can be finished in a reasonable amount of time (normally less than an hour).
- Carefully select the sample of students for an interview so that the group can represent all students who may have different levels of interest and ability.
- Ensure all the necessary equipment’s for the interview are well-prepared, such as interview protocol, audio, and video recorders, etc.
- Try to make the interview group as small as possible, or conduct it individually; this can best facilitate in-depth sharing of ideas. Allow enough time for the student to fully express her ideas; always wait for a few seconds before proceeding to the next question.
- Review the interview transcripts several times with different investigators; this will allow multiple perspectives in interpreting the responses given by the interviewees.
Use of Interview for Students’ Evaluation
The following four-step model has
been designed for using the interviewing process
1. Introduce the process Teachers finest examine
responses from previous interviews and compare responses of students of
differing grade and ability levels. This task provides teachers with an awareness
of the diversity of children's ideas and prepares teachers for the task of
analyzing the responses of their own students.
2. Provide readings teachers are directed to
read several articles focusing on conducting and interpreting interviews. (See
Good, 1977; Kuehn & McKenzie, 1988; Osborne & Freyberg, 1985; Stepans
& Kuehn, 1985). This task continues to prepare the teachers for analysis of
their interviews and helps teachers recognize the importance of questioning
strategies.
3. Conduct Interviews Teachers conduct
interviews with their own students, following a script provided by the course
instructor and interviewing a minimum of four students. Students are
interviewed individually. It is important that teachers select students of
various ages or ability levels. Student responses are audio taped so the
teacher can carefully review each
interview.
4. Share Results After the interviews are
conducted, teachers share their insights orally with their classmates and in
written
