Definition

  • Interviews, a widely used method of data collection for conducting systematic inquiry, have commonly been defined as “conversations with purpose and direction.” Postmodernists describe interviews as dynamic meaning-making occasions that result in a collaborative production of knowledge. Viewed in this way, interviews are a process of seeking knowledge and understanding through conversation. [Source: Encyclopedia of Case Study Research; Interviews]
