Semi-structured interviewing as a Participatory Action Research method

This video helps you to improve your interviewing skills. It contains practical tips as well as an example of a semistructured interview from the slums of Kampala, Uganda. For the sake of the video, the lady in this video is acting. Although her story is not real, it reflects life of mothers in the area.

To those complaining that she posted on social media when it's confidential. She's explained at first that she's just showing an example of how to conduct a semi structured interview.

Thank you for this example. I am a Ph.D. student studying qualitative research, and my professor assigned this video for my class to watch as a way for us to see how semi-structured interviews are conducted.

Thank you so much for making this video and the side notes on the screen during the interview. It was very helpful!! I love how casual yet thorough your introduction and opening of the interview was. Thank you!

If I couldn't be educated at least my kids have to be, I will try as much as I can to see them get to where I could not get to. This should win the award as one of the best mothers in the village. I am 35 doesn't mean I am old. God bless the interviewee and the interviewer.
