Risks and Benefits for Participants Sample Clauses

Risks and Benefits for Participants. All participants were aware about the benefits and risks that they may face during the research study. Participants experienced only minimal risk, such as loss of their time in participating in the interview. In order to tackle this issue, the researcher agreed on the time and day with the interviewees in advance, since teachers have busy schedules almost every day. According to Xxxxxxxx (2012), participants may find some questions too sensitive and avoid answering them. For this reason, I informed each participant that they were free to not to answer any or all questions and they may terminate the interview at any time if they want. Moreover, the researcher informed all participants that withdrawal from the study will not influence their professional or friendly relationship. In addition, participants were told that the researcher or anyone else would not push participants to take part in the study. Because the researcher is already known to participants, in order to prevent this risk of being biased, the researcher will constantly explore and reflect on her own subjectivity (Glesne, 2011). For example, constant reading of the research aim will prevent the research being biased. Regarding the benefits, the participants and the school will benefit from this research study by contributing their voice about collaborative professional learning so they can be heard. Teachers were provided an opportunity to reflect on their attitudes, knowledge and skills they possess towards collaborative professional development. This research study will contribute to knowledge about collaborative teacher professional development in Kazakhstan. The findings of this study might be helpful for policymakers, school administrators and teachers in improving teacher collaboration programmes for professional development.
