| Many things to record |
[Jun. 5th, 2006|09:06 am] |
This morning from 8:00am to 8:25 am I just interviewed another student in the class. He is the 5th student I interviewed in this study. However, I will not use those data in my publication though. There are lots of things I thought during the interview process. And I also learned a lot. But the current problem is that, after the first three interview, I got some experience, but at the same time, I found I lost the passion to interview them: every time I asked the same questions, and there are not so many diverse answers towards to my questions. These are the frequently asked questions by me during the interview:
1. Have you ever heard about e-portfolios before you start this class?
2. What is your expectation when you started your development of this e-portfolio?
3. Could you give me your own definition of the e-portfolio?
4. If you feel comfortable, could you tell me when did you first touch with computer and internet?
5. Could you give me your self-evaluation about your own computer skills?
6. Did you get some help from other people during your e-portfolio development? Who? What kind of?
7. Did you refer to outside resources during your e-portfolio development? What kind of?
8. Do you have plan to use e-portfolio in your future career? How?
9. Did you go back to look through the original classes' students' e-portfolios? What kind of criteria?
10.It is the first time we using google pages as our portfolio server. What do you feel? Could you make comparison between google pages and self-designed web-pages with Dreamweaver?
11. Will you go on using google pages if it start charging in the future?
12.Could you give me your own definition about reflection?
13. Is the reflection part difficult for you in the e-portfolio development?
14. How do you usually write your reflection part?
15. Do you think the reflection part is helpful for your class practice? What kind of if there is?
16. What part is the most difficult part in your reflection process?
17. What part is the most challenging part in your e-portfolio development?
18. What part is your favorite part in your e-portfolio?
19. What part is the most important part do you think in your e-portfolio?
20. How do you usually write your reflection part? Do you use the rubric?
21. Do you think there is something need to improve in the rubric? What kind of if there is?
22. Do you still have other things that you think you may want to share with me?
At the beginning, every student's answer was very interesting and fresh for me. But after three interviews, I found there are not so much diverse among those answers. For most the questions they have the similar answers. But just now, when I sit here and think over the reason, I think I might get some cause for the interview answers' monotonousness: maybe just because I just interviewed 2 girls and 3 boys, while the three boys are very good friends and they have the similar habits, interests, and even the very similar backgrounds on the computer skills! Maybe there will be more divergences when I get more interviewees. |
