Introductions• Welcome (!!!)• Introductions• Scope of the Review• Confidentiality• Ask Participants to Introduce
www.KIC-malta.com
Integrity & Due Professional Care• You are expected to be present
100% for the interview (mentally and physically!)– no phones– no extended breaks– no web-browsing
• Lack of presence is a procedural issue – grounds for appeal
www.KIC-malta.com
Address your audience • Style– Casual & Conversational for students– Formal and ‘honorific’ with rector– Gender!!!!
• Jargon– Some groups don’t use your jargon (esp.students)– Jargon use implies definitions (which may not
agree on)
• Targeting– Triangulation is good– Mis-addressed questions are bad

Watch your body language• Body language observed:– Disapproval– Boredom–Welcoming– Judgemental

Don’t Make Judgements!
DO Do NOT
Test your AssumptionsBut MAKE it CLEAR
you are testing an assumption
• comment on appropriateness of actions of ANY interviewee
• Indicate your preferences from your question
• ask neutral questions with disapproving looks
• ask leading questions

Be Aware of your own Biases• Academics like talking about
their every day work– Focus on CPD– Focus on course design, assessment etc.
• Academics tend to speak less about– budget suitability–marketing and student acquisition– student centred learning

Some thoughts on role division
• Agreeing the objectives of the discussion is more powerful than writing specific questions
• Triangulate all your questions• Having primary and ‘second’
responsibilities on each topic helps with difficult interviews
• Let the chair ‘conduct’ the conversation
