Shen Jie, an EdD student at the Faculty of Education, HKU, presents a critical analysis of the educational research method of interviewing, based on Hobson and Townsend (2010) 10.5040/9781474243834.ch-014. She discusses various interview methods, including individual interviews and focus group interviews, highlighting their advantages—such as gathering rich data and offering flexibility across different research contexts—as well as their limitations. She notes that appropriate sample size depends on factors like dialogue quality and analysis methods, emphasizing the concept of information power (Malterud et al., 2016) 10.1177/1049732315617444.
