Isi artikel

The informal, in-depth interview is a frequently used tool in qualitative research, where the main purpose is to gain an understanding for the interviewer of (part of) the world-view of the interviewee. The argument in this article is that the interview process itself helps the interviewee to develop a new understanding of the experiences which are in focus. The interview has a pedagogical function for the interviewee which is dependent upon the interaction with the interviewer. This argument is illustrated from interviews with primary school teachers in France who spend a year living and working in Portugal. They develop, in and through the interview, a set of more or less closely defined concepts which help them to understand this experience. The article ends with a proposal that this function of the interview should be introduced into in-service training involving a stay abroad and an encounter with otherness.
