My initial thoughts I jotted down about the tools mentioned in reader 6:
Observations
Merits - real life situations, opinions, experiences.
Limits - teachers and students are not always natural when being observed.
.
Interviews
Merits - can adapt to the answers given.
Limits - hard to have questions that aren't influenced by your thinking.
Focus Groups
Merits - a good way to discuss opinions and questions freely
Limits - people may not wish to speak up in a group.
Questionnaires
Merits - hard data/facts.
Limits - very black and white - no room for opinion.
