-
- Small sample size so less representative if a child doesn't complete the questionnaire fully
- Scale Qs are subjective to a child (eg. 1 may be different to 5 so can't compare results)
Interviews
Unstructured
no pre determined qs to ask the child , instead follow up based on response of child. Eg. if child enjoys school? Then ask why. Parents may also be interviewed
Structured
Pre determined Qs are constructed to which the researcher can't deviate from. Eg. Do you enjoy playing?
Semi Structured
Set of predetermined Qs but researcher can deviate or rephrase if child does not understand the Q. Eg. What subject do you like? --> What is your favourite lesson?
