Open-Ended Interviews as a Qualitative Research Technique

Seidman (2012) explains the roots of the thorough interview "understanding the life experiences of other people and their interest in the meaning of such experiences." Interview survey methods are widely used techniques to gather various forms of personally organized information in the social world. Interviews can be done using one of two basic structures called structured (private questions) or unstructured (unresolved questions). Researchers can build up in this way and obtain necessary information from respondents.

One of the qualitative evaluation techniques used in X Hotel is to make open questions. In this approach, we gather information through a structured interview that can only be asked about the same theme in each interview. These questions are carefully designed to avoid ambiguity and especially unfavorable content. This problem is more focused on participants' ideas, experiences, knowledge, and skills. By applying open results to X Hotel, the interviewer can see their own views and opportunities. This is also an effective investigation and the interviewer wants to better control the results.

One of the most effective data collection techniques in qualitative research is an interview. This includes unresolved issues that are not limited to fixed structural problems. Dialogue on this technology can last for 45-60 minutes in face to face. This is related to research topics that broaden the depth of the interview. The recruitment process for participants is similar to that for focus group participants. The structure of the interview is usually semi-structured or completely open interview about the subject, but communication is not interactive, but the interviewee shares his experience, the interviewer tries to explain the experience and form insight I will.

For the purpose of qualitative data collection, we got open information using detailed interview and focus group discussion (FGD). These data collection techniques help to better understand the research problem. For this reason, researchers set two main steps. The first step in processing is the key information provider. As a result, four major information providers (principals and school council chairpersons) conducted face-to-face interviews from seven schools. In addition, 7 groups of teachers' FGD was held at the school. All interviews are recorded in digital tape recordings and notes, and the effectiveness and reliability are checked.
