Interviewing

How do you find informatio?

• Sources!
• How do you find reliable sources?
• Task:
• Find as much information about Dolphins.
• Use your phone!

Who didn't leave google?

What are some other ways to find information?

Get to work!

1. Find a reliable secondary source about your local problem

• Search online for a trustworthy article, report, or website that provides useful information about your chosen local problem.
• Check the source’s credibility: Is it written by an expert, a trusted organization, or a reliable news outlet?
• Write down the key facts or insights from the source that are relevant to your problem.
• Be ready to explain why this source is reliable.

Compare and Evaluate Your Sources

Work in pairs

• Share the source you found with your partner.

Evaluate each other’s sources

• Reliability: Is the source reliable? How can you tell? (Think about the author, organization, or publication date.)
• Usefulness: Does this source provide helpful information for the local problem? Why or why not?

Discuss and Compare

• Compare the strengths and weaknesses of your two sources.
• Decide together which source is more reliable and useful for your research, and explain why.

Be ready to share your conclusions with the class!

Interviewing

Interviewing

• Sometimes secondary sources do not have all of the information needed to answer your specific research questions. 
  
  
• You might need to use primary sources.
• What are some examples of primary sources?

LSD 

• Make pairs
• Choose a topic you are both interested in.
• Have a interview and practise the LSD method (Listen, Summarize, Dig deeper)
• Make sure to ask open-ended questions (questions that cannot be answered with just "yes" or "no").
• Each round lasts 3 minutes. Then switch roles for the second round.

Reflect

• How well did you listen and summarize?
• Were your follow-up questions effective?
• How could you improve your interviewing skills?

Interviewing

Who are you going to interview?

Be realistic but also demanding!

Ethics of Research

• Ethics = moral principles that govern a person's behaviour or the conducting of an activity.
• Thus:

1. Before interviewing anyone, or collecting survey data, you must make sure to get the consent of those you are researching.
2. People need to understand what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how you plan on using the information you are collecting.
3. People must have the freedom to not answer your questions or stop participating in the interview at any time, and to ask you erase any information you have from us.

Class discussion

1. Why is consent necessary?
2. How can you ensure that you have consent from all participants?
3. In what cases might it be difficult to gain consent?
4. What are other ways to ensure the privacy of people who participate in your research?
5. Why is important for researchers to be honest when reporting their findings?
6. How can we tell if a research report is trustworthy?
7. What responsibilities do researchers have to the communities they study?
8. How can research help solve problems in our world, and why is ethical research important
9. for this?
