AI Role-Play Interview Simulation in a Graduate-Level Research Methods Course
Abstract
To enhance qualitative research skills and deepen student engagement, I introduced an AI-driven role-play strategy in a graduate-level research methods course. Students were asked to practice interview skills using an AI bot that responded as a simulated persona, allowing students to practice semi-structured interviewing and navigate ethical considerations in a simulated context.
