“…Interpretivist researchers seek to describe and understand socially constructed realities. They commonly aim to generate socially relative knowledge about some social phenomenon, and often proceed by interpreting experience and observation using languagebased methods (Butler-Kisber, 2010;Costley, Elliott, and Gibbs, 2010;Ozuem, Howell, and Lancaster, 2008).The interpretative perspective fits in with my view of the world and the way in which the level of classroom questioning is contextually bounded in a complex learning environment (in this case, college). Mason (1996) argues that all qualitative research should be formulated around a particular strategy.…”

QUESTIONING: A PATH TO STUDENT'S LEARNING EXPERIENCEWilson Ozuem* and Geoff Lancaster** University of Gloucestershire, UK* and London School of Commerce**
ABSTRACTQuestioning and dialogue provide a framework for sharing educational objectives with students and for charting their progress. However, such an approach can generate feedback information that can be used by students to enhance learning and achievement. Moreover, the feedback generated from good 'questioning and dialogue' could help tutors realign their teaching in response to the needs of learners. Organisations or institutions of learning, which integrate productive questioning and dialogue as part of their classroom practices and commitments to students, provide enhanced meaningful connections between what their students are studying and the relevance both their thinking and their knowledge has in comprehending life issues and solving problems. Drawing on qualitative research perspectives, and adopting an embedded case study strategy, this paper aims to address the following foreshadowed questions: What are the connections between good questioning and student learning and achievement? What conscious knowledge and beliefs do tutors hold about productive questioning in their classes? The study findings indicated that Learners need to be motivated to ask questions and encouraged to get involved in discussions. Tutors should consider 'think-pair share strategy' in their classroom delivery.
“…This approach allows us to gain a deeper interpretation/understanding surrounding the multiple individual perceptions of the sample group, acknowledging and emphasising the importance of the researcher as part of the interpretation, rather than as an objective bystander, whilst analysing the multiplicity of each individual's voice. Participant narratives are recorded, documented and thematically analysed to identify both common and unique insights (Costley et al, 2013;Smith et al, 2009). …”

This qualitative phenomenological study explores the short-to-medium term personal impact of Development Assessment Centres on UK healthcare managers. The study identified overarching themes relating to personal performance impact, enabling and disabling factors in Centre design, trauma and safety implications, and behavioural adaptation. Practice implications arising focused upon three key areas. Firstly, Centre design should equally enable both introverts and extraverts and provide conscious consideration toward behavioural adaptation amongst participants. Secondly, there is a need for adequate follow-up support to enable participants to continue to learn from their experience, whilst also mitigating any potential risk toward long-term trauma caused by such deeply personal experiences. Finally, where assessment and reward form an output from any Centre, judgement should be limited until a thorough de-brief has been undertaken with the participant to explore causal behavioural responses, as opposed to basing decisions on observed behaviour alone.
