It is a valuable method for giving everyone in the community a chance to voice their views. You won’t gain a deep understanding of individual needs and beliefs in a Group Interview, so look to Individual Interviews to accomplish this.
Have the team partner in groups of two for a practice interview. Ask the interviewers to develop an approach for including women and quieter members of the group. Come up with strategies for asking people who may be dominating the conversation to allow other people to answer.
Come together to have the team share these approaches and strategies with each other.
チーム共有しお互いにこれらのアプローチと戦略を持っているために一緒に来る。
STEP 4
If it seems appropriate, prepare an introduction that makes the purpose of the interview clear, if appropriate.

Tips
ヒント
Where to meet—The group should meet on neutral ground in a shared community space that all people have access to (regardless of age, gender, status or race).
Who to include
・Include 7-10 people from diverse economic backgrounds.
・Choose mixed or same-sex groups depending on the customs in that community. If the viewpoints of men and women aren’t’ valued equally, have them meet separately. Two facilitators can run the groups in parallel.
・Consider choosing mixed groups of parents and teens/children, depending on the topic and local context.
・Realize the presence of political heavyweights (chiefs or local administrators) may hamper the ability of others to speak freely.
・It may be helpful to prepare an introduction that makes the purpose of the interview clear, so participants are not influenced by a false belief that you are a source of funds, gifts or charity.
・Lessen any unintentional messages of separateness between the interviewers and interviewees by: sitting at the same level; staggering interviewers throughout the group; avoiding organization-branded clothing (that signifies your status as benefactor or researcher) and emulating the same status of clothing as participants (though this does not mean wearing “traditional dress”).

Meeting people where they live, work and socialize provides new insights and unexpected opportunities.

By being with people in their real settings and doing the things they normally do, you can talk to them about their experiences in the moment. By immersing yourself in their context, you’ll gain empathy and come to understand the people you are designing for on an intellectual and experiential level. This understanding will help you to design solutions with their perspective in mind.
Identify whether working alongside or staying in someone’s home is feasible or desirable.

STEP 2
If a homestay is appropriate, identify people willing to host researchers for one to three nights in their home. Depending on local customs, level of safety and language barriers, team members can stay in homes individually or partner up in groups of two to three people.
If a two-hour immersion is appropriate, identify people willing to bring you along with them when they work or socialize.
2時間浸漬が適切であれば、彼らは仕事や社交のときにそれらをご持参に喜んで人を識別します。
STEP 4
Ask team members to join with participants in their normal routines. If in a homestay, spend time with the men, women, and children in the household to see from all these different perspectives.
・What people say (and think) they do and what they actually do are not always the same thing. With no intent to mislead you, people often have strong beliefs about what they do on a daily basis that differ from what they actually do. The goal of your immersion is not to correct or point out the misperception, but rather to understand the difference.
・When you put yourself in someone’s shoes and spend a few hours or days working with them, you’ll experiencing their business and activity firsthand. You may gain a better understanding of what people think, feel and need along with a sense of the barriers and constraints they face. This deep immersion will help you to design solutions with their perspective in mind.
・Working with a person for a day in his or her field, living with a family for a few days or helping them bring their products to market are ways of showing your commitment and deep interest in their day-to-day lives. Over time, sometimes many months of relationship building, people will trust you and feel at ease sharing their plans and hopes for the future.
・If a homestay is possible, you can see how participants live day-to-day. A few days spent in their home, will allow a family to become comfortable with you. After the second night, people will begin to act naturally. The understanding and empathy you gain will increase the longer you stay in one place.
・Your team should not bring elaborate gifts, food, or alcohol to participants. However, a small gift of ordinary household supplies or help with normal family expenses is perfectly fine.
