I interviewed them all over a period of a week in early March. What they had to say was both informative and gratifying. They were all very enthusiastic about the project. In fact, the psychologist even went as far as to suggest it might be presented to the Education Board later in the year.
I had taken great care to prepare the questions I was going to ask each of them, varying them slightly according to their expertise. Taking the advice of Cohen & Manion (1998) I used mainly open - ended questions as they give the interviewees the opportunity to express their opinions and feelings freely.
I also consulted Corrie & Zaklukiewicz (1985) about the use of tape recorders and took the advice of Horalambos & Holborn (1995) on the usefulness of semi-structured interviews. ( full transcripts of the interviews will appear in the appendices of the dissertation).
