ABSTRACT
We have argued that we may find the resources for developing a reflective practice by using our reflections as input for research. But one question remains: why should our students spend their valuable time on being interviewed? The answer can be found in Kvale’s (1996) notion of the interview as a co-construction where the interviewee is affected and also has learned something through the interview. Hence, participating in such an interview would hopefully lead to reflection-on-action for both the interviewer and the interviewee. Some scholars have argued that higher degree students should develop a reflective practice – usually through journal writing (Boud, 2001; Cunliffe, 2004; Morrison, 1996). We would argued that a reflective practice may not (only) be developed in solitude; it can be a collective endeavour developed through qualitative interviews.
