One-on-one interviews or small group interviewing play a pivotal role in launching and formulating an action research project. At the core of effective interviewing is active listening. Active listening, although often challenging to do well, is essential to ensuring that the interviewer does not lead the interview in inappropriate ways. While the references provide concise descriptions of what is required to do effective interviews, doing additional research is recommended.
Thinking about your selected Action Research project, present your detailed plans to interview your stakeholders (inquiry team members) in the organization. Discuss your chosen approach and justify it applying and citing at least the three Required Reference Material resources listed above and be sure to apply APA formatting both in-text and when listing the references at the end of the response.
