Abstract

Research interviews use standardised and unstructured formats to understand the social world, and the open-ended interview has been a primary method used by qualitative researchers. Interview assignments have been a core component of coursework in qualitative research methods typically taught in face-to-face contexts. With digital transformations in course delivery, synchronous and asynchronous online delivery models have supplemented or replaced place-based instruction. This chapter reviews literature on teaching qualitative interviewing and explores strategies instructors of qualitative methods can use in both face-to-face and online contexts. Authors draw on novice researchers’ accounts to inform how instructors can teach interviewing in both face-to-face and online contexts and challenge students to design studies that use interviews in theoretically sophisticated ways.
