Engineering for academic interviews

[sujonkumar6300]

Drawing from Reyes’s (2020) perspective regarding the importance of positive relationships that can healthily develop between children and teachers, there is a prudent call to actively and respectfully advocate for the implementation of relational pedagogies, that acknowledge the impact of the spontaneous bonds in daily interactions.

This blog post focuses on the recruitment dilemma I faced with regard to the interview phase and how I sought solutions.

It was an informative experience participating in the BERA event, ‘Researching Gender & Sexuality in Educational Settings: An event for PGRs and ECRs’. I presented my PhD research and asked my question on how to recruit thailand consumer email list more female engineering undergraduates who plan to choose a career outside engineering for semi-structured interviews. A number of helpful suggestions provided by the event attendees are worthy of reflection and being shared with more general readers.

The greatest challenge I have met during the data collection stage is that I lacked interview participants who choose to leave engineering after graduation. I have tried to make use of my personal contacts and the snowballing strategy, but I still have very limited access to this sample group. Girls choosing a career outside engineering tend to regard this choice as a failure, so they refuse to talk about it. Fortunately, I had received pragmatic advice on this issue thanks to the BERA event.
