Designing and Conducting Your First Interview Project
Using a clear, easily followed approach, Designing and
Conducting Your First Interview Project helps anyone new to the
process develop the skills to conduct the most essential part of
social research data collection: the interview. The book also shows
how to organize, analyze, and interpret the data.
This workbook provides a step-by-step template for a
collaborative class experience in social science. Organized
according to the steps of the deductive scientific method, it
includes essential activities to take place during class after the
appropriate chapter has been read. The book begins with the process
of choosing a topic and proceeds through hypothesis development,
interview data collection, data entry using SPSS, and elementary
data analysis. The final chapter includes the formal assignment and
instructions to students on how to write about their experiences in
a way that will produce an excellent final paper. By selecting the
hypothesis, gathering the data, and analyzing the results, students
will gain an appreciation for the strengths and potential
weaknesses of "knowing" things through doing quantitative social
science.
