Using the life grid interview technique in STEM education research

Abstract: Background: Qualitative interviewing is a common tool that has been utilized by Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education researchers to explore and describe the experiences of students, educators, or other educational stakeholders. Some interviewing techniques use co-creation of an artifact, such as a personal timeline, as a unique way to elicit a detailed narrative from a respondent. The purpose of this commentary is to describe an interview artifact called a life grid. First used an… Show more

“…Scientists [3,13,22] highlight that STEM education includes the basis of knowledge embedded in objects created by man, and project process itself which is limited by certain conditions, such as laws of nature, development of technology, time, materials, environmental friendliness which are necessary for implementation of a project. STEM education uses scientific and mathematical concepts as well as and mobile devices [12,18].…”

“…A grid of interview questions is utilized in focus group discussion (FGD) activities in order to collect information throughout the phase of requirements analysis. The interview question grid includes: i) the quality of current VHS graduates; ii) the learning model that has been used so far; iii) competencies needed by VHS graduates; and iv) the learning model is expected to improve the work readiness of VHS students and expected model phases [36]. The next instrument that is not a test is a questionnaire for internal validation that attempted to evaluate the model's feasibility, and offered feedback on the learning model that had been created.…”
