I will collect my data for the coursework in the common room, first I will record a conversation with the girls and then also on a different occassion when the boys are present. This will be to see if girls change the way they talk and if it is boys that interupt more.
So that they are aware they will be being recorded at the start of the week I am going to inform them that at some point in the next week I will be recording a conversation. This will be fairer than recording them the minute I inform them as something called the 'Hawthorne Effect', this means that they could potentially change their behaviour as they know they're being observed. By the time I record them they should have forgot but I would have been given permission earlier in the week.
I will get my findings on an iPhone.
Thank you for your notes here, Kayleigh. You are already considering limitations and ethics. When precisely do you envisage doing the recording?
