I conducted a semi structured interview to parents about their experiences as modular facilitators during the pandemic. I would like to ask that when transcribing the recorded interview, is there a need to also include the follow up questions in the transcript along with their answers, or I will just include their answers to the follow up questions in the original set of questions validated by the evaluators?
Thank you in advance!
I will advise you to add every question with their response. By that, you will not leave anything out. The follow-up questions and answers in some cases result in compelling findings.
I agree with the previous responses from Simon Stephens and Joshua Ofoeda . When interviewing, it is key to know what was exactly asked for, even to improve yourself as interviewer (to detect potential biases in the sense of induce a possible response, for instance). Also, the nuances and insights are better unveiled if you have the "whole picture", the sequence of the interview. The questions as you have them validated were not possibly formulated in such way, and those variations may be also relevant. The interaction also reveals useful information.
Simon Stephens Thanks for your valuable suggestion. Mel Nano Thanks for asking this question.
Regards,
Nandan
