Interview Transcript

Participant: Student 3 (Pseudonym: Zhang Hao, Boy, Age 14)

Interviewer: Hi Hao, thanks for joining me. Take your time and answer
however you want. Okay to record?

Student 3: Sure.

1. Can you describe what it feels like to participate in social


studies classes, both online and in the traditional classroom?
Student 3: In the classroom it feels active and fun. We can talk and
debate with friends. Online, it feels quiet and a bit boring. I usually just
watch and don’t say much.

2. How would you describe your relationship with your social


studies teacher? Student 3: My relationship with Teacher Zhang is
good. He is strict but fair. He explains things well and sometimes jokes,
which makes class less serious.

3. Do you find it easier to participate in online classes or


traditional classes? Why do you think that is? Student 3: Easier in
traditional classes. I feel more confident when I can see the teacher’s face
and the whole class. Online I feel shy because I don’t know if people are
paying attention, and the lag makes it awkward to speak.

4. Can you tell me about a time when you felt connected to your
teacher or classmates during a social studies lesson? What
happened? Student 3: Yes. In one face-to-face class about Chinese
culture, we had group discussion. Teacher Zhang came to our group and
listened to my idea. He said it was interesting and asked me to share with
the whole class. That made me feel proud.

5. What could teachers do to help you feel more comfortable


participating in class, whether online or in person? Student 3:
Maybe ask questions in a friendly way and not put pressure on us. Online,
using more polls would be better because we don’t have to speak out
loud. Also, encouraging us that it’s okay if our answer is not perfect.

Interviewer: Anything else you want to add? Student 3: I think when


the teacher knows us better, we participate more.

Interviewer: Thank you, Hao. You did great.
