Hi everyone Instats is pleased to present a 2-day seminar on Conducting Interviews for Research: What You Weren’t Taught <https://instats.org/seminar/conducting-qualitative-interviews-what-3951> by professor Catheryn Khoo (May 23-24). Interviewing skills are the cornerstone of obtaining data in many research contexts, including face-to-face, focus-group, and virtual interviews, as well as interviews using visual methods. Indeed, even if a researcher plans on quantitatively coding the qualitative data collected during an interview, the resulting quantitative coding depends on the quality and rigor of the interview itself. This practical, hands-on workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to interviewing for researchers, beginning with engaging research participants and resulting interviewees even before any interviews take place. The 6 modules (spread across two days) will build on one another, and are designed to guide you through the process of: designing powerful questions that will inspire your participants to be expressive; probing answers for deeper levels of understanding of your subject matter; and engaging with participants’ data in ways that will yield meaningful insights for your research. *By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:* - Critically review any interview protocol - Design and use consent forms that work for conducting qualitative interviews - Design meaningful questions based on your research objectives - Engage with your research participants pre and post interviews - Elicit deep, meaningful data from your participants - Probe for genuine responses and answers - Provide a deeper level of understanding of your research topics Please consider coming along to this unique opportunity to acquire a higher level of interviewing skill for conducting your research. You can see all of our upcoming workshops by heading over to instats.org, and if you are an expert in qualitative or quantitative research methods please get in touch about offering content on the Instats platform -- we are the most advanced technology platform for PhD and post-PhD research methods training in the world, and we would love to have a chat!
