Definition

Initial analysis of interview results is the first step of reviewing interview information to identify main ideas, common answers, first impressions, and repeated patterns before making final conclusions. It helps researchers organize data and understand what participants are saying.

Main Ideas

Main ideas from interviews

Researchers review interview answers to identify the most important ideas participants mention.

Common answers

Repeated responses help identify similarities between participants and possible themes.

First impressions

The first review of interview responses gives an initial understanding of attitudes, emotions, or opinions.

Patterns in responses

Researchers look for repeated ideas, behaviors, or opinions that appear across interviews.

Importance

Why is it important?

* Helps organize interview information.

* Identifies repeated ideas and themes.

* Helps understand participants’ opinions.

* Supports better conclusions and decisions later in the research process.

Characteristics

* Focuses on first observations.

* Looks for similarities and differences in responses.

* Identifies common themes or repeated ideas.

* Helps summarize information clearly.

* Is exploratory and not the final analysis.

Examples

Example 1:

A researcher interviews students about online learning and notices many mention “difficulty concentrating.” This becomes a common pattern.

Example 2:

During job interviews, several participants say communication is the most important skill. The researcher identifies this as a repeated response.

Advantages and Challenges

Advantages

* Helps organize large amounts of information.

* Makes patterns easier to identify.

* Helps researchers understand opinions quickly.

Challenges

* Responses may be difficult to interpret.

* Researchers may misunderstand ideas.

* Large interviews can take time to review.

Real-Life Applications

* School research projects

* Job interview analysis

* Customer feedback studies

* Health and social research interviews

Interesting Facts

* Researchers often discover repeated themes after reviewing several interviews.

* Initial analysis helps researchers make sense of large amounts of interview data before deeper analysis begins.

Why I Selected This Video

I selected this video because it clearly explains how researchers analyze interview results, identify patterns, organize responses, and find important themes during the initial analysis process.

-Short Definition

Determination of levels is the process of organizing and classifying interview responses into different performance levels based on the quality of answers and the understanding shown by participants. This process is part of the initial analysis of interview results and helps researchers compare and interpret responses in a clear and systematic way.

-Main Ideas

• Determines different performance levels (basic, intermediate, advanced) according to participants’ answers.

• Focuses on the quality of responses, including clarity, completeness, examples, and depth of explanation.

• Evaluates understanding by analyzing how participants connect ideas and use relevant vocabulary.

• Uses classification criteria or rubrics to define what each level represents.

-Keywords

• Determination of levels

• Performance levels

• Quality of responses

• Understanding

• Classification criteria

• Initial analysis

• Interview results

• Qualitative analysis

• Rubric

-Importance

• Helps organize large amounts of interview data into clear categories.

• Makes it easier to compare participants and identify patterns.

• Identifies different levels of understanding among participants.

• Provides a structured and evidence-based foundation for research decisions.

-Characteristics

• Systematic: follows clear steps and rules.

• Descriptive and comparative: explains and compares different levels.

• Hierarchical: shows progression from basic to advanced understanding.

• Criterion-based: uses rubrics and clear evaluation standards.

-Examples

Example 1: Basic level response

Interviewer question: What do you think about the topic?
Participant answer: “It is good.”

Example 2: Intermediate level response

Interviewer question: What do you think about the topic?
Participant answer: “It is good because it is interesting and useful for students.”

Example 3: Advanced level response

Interviewer question: What do you think about the topic?
Participant answer: “It is very interesting and useful for students because it helps them understand real-life situations and improves their critical thinking skills.”

-Advantages

• Organizes complex interview data into a clear structure.

• Helps researchers compare participants easily.

• Makes analysis and reporting more transparent.

-Challenges

• Can be subjective if criteria are not clear.

• Requires time to design and apply rubrics correctly.

• Some responses may not fit perfectly into one level.

-Real-Life Applications

• Educational research

• Classroom assessments and activities

• Program evaluations

• Qualitative interview analysis

• Job interviews and oral exams

-Interesting Facts

• Determining levels is widely used in education and psychology to measure understanding in interviews, tests, and portfolios.

• Researchers often use 3–4 levels because they reflect natural learning progress (beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert).

• Clear rubrics help reduce bias by ensuring all evaluators use the same criteria.

• In research, qualitative levels can later be converted into quantitative data, such as percentages or statistics.

• Level systems are also used in real job interviews and academic exams to evaluate performance consistently.

Through this topic, I learned that initial analysis of interview results helps researchers understand information before making final conclusions. I was surprised to learn how repeated answers can show important patterns. This topic is important because it helps organize ideas and better understand people’s opinions. In real life, it can be used in education, jobs, business, and research to improve decisions and understand experiences.

-Why I Selected This Video

I selected this video because it explains clearly how researchers analyze interview responses, organize data, create categories, and classify information during qualitative analysis. The video is directly connected to determination of levels because it shows how responses are examined and grouped according to patterns, meanings, and relevance.

Through this activity, I learned how researchers classify interview responses into different levels. I also learned the importance of coding and organizing information during qualitative analysis. What surprised me was how detailed the process can be. This topic is important because it helps researchers understand interview results clearly and accurately. This knowledge can be used in education, research, and job interviews.

Main Concept: To make sense of interview data by organizing and summarizing. Moving the researchers for descriptive transcription to analyze categories for further interpretation.
