RESEARCH PROJECTIntroductionThe current study deals with the qualitative data collection and analysis on the experience of theUK adults studying part time higher education in different universities and colleges. The mainpurpose of this study is to gather information on the benefits and obstacles of the highereducational systems in the UK to recommend the same accordingly. The initial phase of thisstudy reveals a reflection on the interview with student and usefulness of the interview session inqualitative research method. The latter part reveals a critical reflection on the observation fromthe interview based on the opinion of individual, participated in the interview. Final and mostcrucial part of this study has incorporated a detailed data analysis using qualitative data andthematic analysis mechanism. This analysis is also supported by different peer reviewed journalsto strengthen the discussion. Discourse on critical reflection of interview and role in qualitative researchQualitative research entails description of an agenda and associated facts of the same to developunderstanding on the in depth practices and policies based on concerned area of discussion.Thus, in the opinion of Miles et al. (2013), qualitative research involves the process of collectingdescriptive information from the internal sources of the association to relate the same with theissues, identified in the study and current research facts. In that case, Silverman (2016) stated useof appropriate tools for data collection and analysis assist the researcher to keep the informationfor future use and draw valid inference from the evidence using it repeatedly under descriptiveanalysis. In the current case, a telephonic interview has been conducted the same has beenconsidered as most relevant device for recording the opinion of the respondent for future use.Following is the draft of the transcript on the interview including the student having experiencein part time evening study. Transcript:Interviewer: Hi, how are you?Respondent: Absolutely Okay.I: Thank you for agreeing to chat with me.Page 3 of 19

RESEARCH PROJECTR: It’s been an opportunity for me to participate in such communication that will enlighten ourcurrent state of part time education.I: Okay. How long are you studying in the UK under part time educational system?R: It is about 1 year; I have completed my two semesters in this course.I: Is it your own selection or some forceful involvement like lack of alternative option, hurry forjobs and family responsibilities?R: No, it is actually my own choice where I have seen the only way of availing higher educationas I am already involved in some part time job to earn for my family and own expenditure likecourse fees, transport costs etc. I: Do you think the part time, evening educational system in the UK that you are pursuingcurrently is sound enough to provide the scope of developing ample knowledge and skill forcareer development?R: I am basically more concerned about completion of the course to attain a significant financialand non-financial benefit in my current employment. In context of theories and lectures, thecourse structure has been developed properly keeping the time limit in mind. However, it isobvious for the part time evening studies to deliver scope of practical learning. Thus, I amgathering the theoretical knowledge and understanding on the current area of study. However,only the process of its implementation is included in our study materials. I: Okay. Are the study materials that your university is providing enough for you to develop yourknowledge and skills from this course?R: No, absolutely not. The lectures in our evening course are badly required to understand thetheories and materials provided to us. However, the lectures in this course are also not enoughfor me to grasp the entire concept for further implementation of the same in my work place. Onthe other hand, due to my other commitments in a job, I could get hardly time to be involved inmy study. That is why I need a proper and effective lecture in my institution to develop bestunderstanding on the topic and area I am learning right now. Page 4 of 19
