In preparation for our webinar this week, Ally and I wanted to show you how to read one of our student engagement maps. It’s easy, once you understand what all the stickers mean!
At the start of the interview, we ask the students to review the list of student engagement types (see image below).
Back in June, when I was attending IRDL, I spent time to develop our interview questions. Initially, I created a standard interview guide. I had a series of questions that I planned to ask in the exact same order. However, as I worked on the guide, and reviewed our textbooks, I realized that this standard format might be too rigid for what I was hoping to do. If I asked the same questions over and over for each experience, an hour long interview would get pretty repetitive with students. When I stumbled across the matrix interview guide, I had a little eureka moment.
