In this methodological inquiry, we ask: "What are the walls that block the examination of whiteness for white women when using photo-elicitation interviewing? What are the methodological possibilities and risks of photo elicitation with white women when critically studying whiteness?" Framed by concepts of white complicity, white…

In this study, we aimed to examine graduate students' experience when working with peers to complete a learning task focused on conducting a program evaluation in a qualitative research course. A generative artificial intelligence (GenAI)-powered platform was incorporated to support an experiential learning activity designed by the…

Qualitative interviews and focus groups are commonly used methods to elicit participants' voices in program evaluations. However, the use of these data-gathering methods can fall short of the goal; even with open-ended questions, the protocols guiding and shaping interviews and focus groups heavily reflect the evaluators' understanding and…

Through documentary filmmaking and lessons based on SE competencies, HATC aims to provide SEL support that amplifies authentic…

Using a grounded theory method, the authors explore the phenomenon of adult play guilt, or the negative emotions associated with the perception of being unproductive while engaging in play. They interviewed twenty-four emerging adult undergraduate students about feeling guilty when contemplating or engaging in play. The authors found that…

This methods-focused article attends to the mechanics of participant drawing as a data collection tool in qualitative research. Writing studies researchers undertaking qualitative research benefit from a wealth of handbooks on how to design methodologically sound studies. However, despite interest in visual research methods, little guidance is…

School districts are experiencing critical staff shortages with the most severe shortages concentrated in the highest-needs schools. The authors' Educator Preparation Program at Governors State University implemented a mock job fair pilot for their candidates around three complementary goals: (a) to improve our candidates' interview confidence,…

Interviewer reflexivity is essential in social sciences to enhance the integrity of research studies because it builds trustful relationships, facilitates a nuanced understanding of phenomena, and captures both the individual and social dimensions of the human being. Although Finlay's (2003) five lenses of interviewer reflexivity--strategic,…

The relationship between the senses and social interaction within schools is often overlooked in existing studies. Drawing on evidence generated through ethnography and Photovoice in a progressive democratic school, we apply new materialist approaches to explore the relational dynamics of affective sensorial-material interactions to afford…

There is a need to tell if children are providing truthful testimonies in legal cases. This study examined differences between children's true and false statements obtained using either an interview that included cognitive instructions or one that did not. Children witnessed a theft that they were asked to deny and were interviewed with or without…

This meta-analytic review examines the most fundamental question for disclosing evidence during suspect interviews: What are the effective options for when to disclose the available evidence? We provide an update to Hartwig and colleagues (2014) meta-analysis of the efficacy of the late and early disclosure methods on eliciting statement-evidence…

Walking interviews generate contextualized dialogs and place-based narratives prompted by sites and routes. We used walking interviews with three refugee-background women in Australia to find out what the act of walking could reveal about notions of home and broader narratives of forced migration. We used a participatory approach to privilege…

Employment interviews can be challenging for autistic people. In addition to standard interview procedures often being inaccessible, features associated with autism (including atypical emotional expression, eye-contact, and gestures) may lead to negative first impressions. Research using vignettes and 'thin slices' of communication indicate that…

This research endeavors to introduce a comprehensive scale tailored to gauge high school students' attitudes toward AI-based interviews for university admissions. Moreover, the study delves into the impact of information provisioning on students' attitudes toward AI-based interviews. The participant cohort comprised 604 high school students, who…
