When looking at the advantages and disadvantages of using unstructured interviews to investigate streaming, we need to look at how this can effect the pupils. One strength of using this method to investigate streaming is, as stated in item B, the researcher ‘can explore pupils feelings and reactions’. This supports the idea of empathy, as the researcher can build a rapport with the respondents and by using this method is able to talk about sensitive issues. For example, by talking to students in the lower band, using unstructured interviews allows the pupil to feel at ease and not judged by the researcher. This may mean that the pupil will open up and could explain their feelings and emotions towards the subject of streaming, and the reasons why they ‘develop a negative image’.
Interpretivists favour this method, as they can get more detailed answers from the pupils. It is a flexible method that allows the interviewer to gain insight into why subcultures develop. This would be good when interviewing pupils from pro and anti-school subcultures, as they can speak about their own experiences, and what is important to them. Unstructured interviews can also be carried out in

I discovered that my style of learning is that I am a visual learner! This came as a surprise to me since I always thought of myself as a hands on learner.

Learning Analytics focuses attention on tools and technologies in order to investigate the data coming from different educational contexts such as online learning environments (Dyckhoff, Zielke, Bültmann, Chatti, & Schroeder, 2012) to enhance teachers’ perspectives on how learning is happening. Especially, MOOCs offer certain demands and dilemmas that become accepted as a challenge practice in Learning Analytics approaches (Clow, 2013). An open learning environment such as MOOCs, afford an “exciting opportunity” for the Learning Analytics researchers (Chatti et al., 2014). They play a role as a part of the online learning phenomenon where large quantities of data sets are generated, induced by users who access platforms of the kind. These result in activities which are stored in servers and remain meaningless until they are analyzed.

To remember something new, it must be clearly inculcated in the brain. It requires time and effort to learn new concepts. To let the learned information stick to the brain, a good language learner must learn how to use learning strategies to overcome any language barriers otherwise that learners will certainly fail. These strategies offer particular advantages and the use of an appropriate learning strategy can surely enhance success with any learning task (Sabuncuoglu, 2013). Learning to use memory-improvement strategies effectively will reduce the risk of forgetting information that the learners had learned and studied and will help learners store and retrieve information in an orderly string.
