Transcriptions begin

DAY 4, 7 April 2011 First group interview carried out in the teachers’ room at the school at 10.30 am, we chose this place because there’s a coffee machine and it’s the place where we usually meet between lessons. It went very well I think. They signed the informed consent form without even reading them, and then we started talking, but they never realised that I had started recording. It wasn’t a problem, they said they felt more relaxed that way because it didn’t feel like an ‘interview’ (probably meaning me doing the asking, them doing the answering). It lasted around 40minutes. After lunch I started with the transcription. Panicked and some decisions to make. Checked the different templates Keith had given us and decided to use the one with numbered lines, names, text and room for comments. It’s taking me way way longer than expected as there’s too much overlap and broken sentences. I’m trying to jot down some ideas just in case I lose them.
