Using
the Data_Interview Transcription attachment, develop five different interview
transcriptions with the following instructions 140/150 words per question.
Overview
The purpose of this study is to provide
recommendations for solving the problem of low parental involvement in the
British School of Dhahran, International Schools Group. The problem is that 65%
of the parents of students at the British School of Dhahran International
School groups failed to meet the required parental involvement standards (ISG,
2023). This chapter presents the Interview Procedures, Survey Procedures, and
Questionnaire Procedures.
Interview Procedures
The first data collection method is
semi-structured interviews. The interviews will be conducted
in-depth to provide valuable insights about the research problem and some of
the reasons why it exists. This
thoughtful arrangement guarantees a systematic and thorough inquiry that aligns
with the research goals and purposes.
Data Collection and Analysis
The five parents from various grade
levels will be the participants to which their children are attending BSD. One parent with a child from grade 6 to 10 will be used
for the interview process. The
rationale behind the fundamental methodology of semi-structured interviews is
to attain a balance between structure and flexibility. This strategy aims to
preserve the degree of system required for insightful analysis while capturing
the depth of participant insights (Silinskas & Kikas 2019). The interviews will mostly be conducted
through face-to-face interactions, with the provision of phone or online
interviews as choices to meet the preferences and availability of the
participants. Face-to-face interviews are commonly favored due to their
propensity to foster enhanced levels of open and comprehensive communication,
enabling more effective monitoring of non-verbal signs. Nevertheless, in situations where
geographical or scheduling limitations hinder the feasibility of conducting
face-to-face interviews, alternative methods such as phone or videoconferencing interviews will be employed to guarantee the inclusion of all
significant viewpoints. The ability to conduct interviews in various modes is
essential for optimizing participant inclusion and facilitating comprehensive
data collecting. Following the completion of the interviews, the data will be
systematically analyzed using thematic analysis.
This method involves transcribing the interviews, carefully
reading the transcripts to identify patterns, and coding the data to categorize
these patterns into themes. Thematic analysis is chosen for its effectiveness
in organizing and interpreting rich, detailed qualitative data, making it
possible to draw meaningful conclusions about the factors influencing parental
involvement. The analysis will focus on identifying common themes across
different interviews and unique insights provided by individual participants to
develop a nuanced understanding of the problem and inform the development of
targeted recommendations. This approach supports building rapport and promoting
candid conversation, both essential for exploring the intricacies of parental
engagement (Huguley et al., 2019).
Using this strategy, researchers can be confident that their information is
useful and accurate, laying a firm groundwork for their conclusions and suggestions.
