Faculty Development Tidbit: Three-Step Interview
|
Purpose:
To engage students in conversation for the
purpose of analyzing and synthesizing new
information.
Description:
The Three-Step Interview is a cooperative
structure that helps students personalize their
learning and listen to and appreciate the ideas
and thinking of others. Active listening and
paraphrasing by the interviewer develops
understanding and empathy for the thinking of
the interviewee.
Procedure:
1. Students work in pairs. One is the
interviewer; the other is the interviewee.
The interviewer listens actively to the comments
and thoughts of the interviewee, paraphrasing
key points and significant details.
2. Student pairs reverse roles, repeating the
interview process.
3. Each pair then joins another pair to form
groups of four. Students introduce their pair
partner and share what the partner had to say
about the topic at hand.
Sample Three-Step Interview Topics:
1. Present a very challenging filter/sort
combination problem to the students. Allow
them to use the interview to discuss possible
solutions.
2. Present students with an ethical situation
related to privacy and the internet. Allow
students to use the interview as a means of
discussing the different components of the
issues at hand.
3. Provide students a short (four to five words)
list of vocabulary to be reviewed. In the
interview, they are to explain the definitions
and applications of the words. By regrouping
with the other interview pair, appropriate
student use of vocabulary will be reinforced.

NOTE FROM STEVE:
Engaging students in conversations to analyze and synthesize is a learning
activity that can be as richer than a lecture. Is there a topic you teach that
might lend itself to this one or more of the three samples? Remember:
Humans’ attention span under normal circumstances is about 10 minutes. This
exercise would be a great way to “pull them back” and help them make sense of
all you are teaching.
