Question

Debbie was observing classes in a small rural school as part of her study on opportunities in the arts in diverse school districts. She heard several teachers make reference to the upcoming "play day" within the context of their lessons. Not knowing what the "play day" was, Debbie pulled the principal aside and asked her to explain. In this example, Debbie is best illustrating a(n)____________.a. formal interview.
b. structured interview.
c. semi-structured interview.
d. informal interview.

Answer 1

Answer:

d. informal interview.

Explanation:

In this example, the interaction between Debbie and the principal would be defined as an informal interview. We learn that Debbie wanted to talk to the principal, but that this was not planned. Moreover, Debbie had not thought of the questions or the structure that the discussion would follow prior to talking to the principal. Therefore, this would be considered an example of an informal interview.
