METHOD
Steps in Conducting a Qualitative Interview
(Creswell, 2007)
1. Decide whether interviews are appropriate.
To begin with, participants should agree to the interview method; otherwise, this method
is not necessary and will not yield any relevant information. Assess if the information is
sensitive and observation will be enough to gather the needed information.
2. Choose the type of interview
Will you use structured or unstructured interview? What type will you use on focus group
discussion or one-on-one interview?
3. Invite Participants
A letter of permission should be sent to the participants and they must reply indicating
their consent before conducting the interview session.
3. Opening Question.
This is about getting to know participants so they will feel at ease. Questions related to
their work or activities are good opening questions. Very personal questions must be
avoided.
4. Content Questions.
These are sub-questions based on the central phenomenon being studied.
5. Closing Instructions.
Thank the interviewee for his/her time.
