                                            dish you prepared yourself?

Out in the wild
Ask open questions – don’t lead

                YAY           NAY
                • Who         • Did
                • What        • Have
                • When        • Are
                • Where       • Were
                • Why         • Will
                • How

                                       Were you trying to do A or B?

What were you trying to do?
Some great all-purpose questions

• Has there ever been a time when you had x experience?
• Could you tell me about that?
• What was great about that?
• What was awful about that?
• Why did you do that?
• And then, what happened?
• If you had a magic wand, what would you make the situation be like?




                                                                        By Janice Fraser
Do’s and don’ts


                  Photo by Hilde Skjølberg http://www.flickr.com/photos/hebe/3004800079/
Do
Be the learner, not the expert
Ask naïve questions
Ask for specific stories
Allow people time to think
Listen!
Take notes or record
Take photos or collect artefacts




                                   Photo by Tomas Hellberg http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomhe/35312882/
Don’t
Be an interrogator
Ask questions that sound like blame, or argumentative
Ask for solutions
Try to solve problems during the interview
Ask what features people want
Ask people to imagine theoretical situations

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Non-leading interviews allow you to capture what a person is thinking in their terms, with their structure and vocabulary intact. Indi deliberately writes prompts rather than interview questions. Also easier to parse quickly. if you go for a non-directed interview using prompts, make sure everybody in your team has a shared understanding of the intent behind each topic. Janice calls this topic map.

  3. begin interviews with a 'softball' question - a question that is simple to answer and puts the participant at ease. 
  4. Be careful with WHY. ‘How did you know that X?’ ‘What were you thinking at the moment when X?’ This does not interrupt the recounting process. So ‘tell me how it was that you came to be looking for this site that day’ does the work of ‘why were you looking... ?If you’ve made people comfortable, Why should be ok.
  5. Manage expectations
  6. Map out connections – Rich Picture
