Gathering Data from Interviews:
Limitations and multiple analysis methods
Though much of the work done by the UMaine PERL includes research using interviews with students, the presentations listed below specifically address issues of gathering data from interviews. What does one learn in interviews? What constrains what one learns? What are different ways of understanding the interview data?
