Blog 8 Gaming research questions
Should you have some background knowledge of the research
before conducting the interview?
Ch uses language that is familiar to to B throughout the
interview. To start B comments that Ch”
knows what everyone else knows how to use, frontpage, powerpoint, excel”. Ch asked “ games aren’t really considered
software..later she asks “so you know lots of software”. Towards the end of the
interview Ch asks B “how about file systems and gaming spaces” and B responds “
…the games are still software.
Its important that an interviewer and the interviewee be in
a discourse community together. This makes
the interview smooth and keeps the conversational. Also having a common language discourse will
also help the researcher to conduct a stronger interview because he or she is
not stopping the interview to ask “what do that term mean?” Lastly, having a
common discourse language will allow the interviewer to ask meaningful questions
and gather meaning data.
