Interview Project

Introduction

For this assignment I am going to "interview" four children, all with varying ages. This assignment is to demonstrate an in-depth understanding of each stage. The ages of these children are a preschooler, a student in elementary, middle, and high school.

The five interview questions are open-ended and appropriate for all of the age groups.

An open-ended question is designed to encourage a full, meaningful answer using the subject's own knowledge and/or feelings. It is the opposite of a closed-ended question, which encourages a short or single-word answer. Open-ended questions also tend to be more objective and less leading than closed-ended questions (see next page).

Open-ended questions typically begin with words such as "Why" and "How", or phrases such as "Tell me about...". Often they are not technically a question, but a statement which implicitly asks for a response.

Interview Question

Tell me about your relationship with your teacher

What makes a good friend?

How do you feel when you go to school?

Do you like your class environment?

Interview analysis

In this part I am going to discuss responses of students. After asking the first question “Is it wrong to steal” all the student said that it is wrong and we always try to take permission from them and then we use them.

Preschooler Student

In response to the second question “Tell me about your relationship with your teacher” student responded differently. The preschooler student told me that she has a very close relation with her teacher because she is very nice and caring and help her when ever she needs.

“What make a good friend” is the third question. The student in preschool said that a good friend is the one who shares his toy with me and play with me.

It can be found out that friendships in this stage have many benefits, apart from the obvious comfort it gives a person, a child like Martin whose behavior is placing him apart from his classmates are at risk of unhappiness now and risk adjustment difficulties later in life.

Intervention is certainly required to assist Martin in developing the social skills he needs to modify his behavior and to start building relationships with his classmates if Martin is unable to establish these relationships he risks having feelings of rejection and lack of achievement which in turn can lead to feeling of low self worth, which only further add to Martin's already evident social skills deficit.
