How to present qualitative research in PGCE

Hi,

Currently writing my second and final assignment for my PGCE course. It is 5000 words and I had to do a small scale study where I interviewed 2 teachers about my chosen topic. Hence, my research is qualitative.
I’m unsure how to lay this out. Currently I’ve written the question I asked during the interview, and then underneath discussed the responses I got from the interview. Is this the best approach? Or has anyone got other ideas of how to present my interview findings? I’ve been sure to discuss my methodology and ethics considerations.

TIA

When you are discussing the responses, are you eferring back to the literature that has informed the research?
Don't forget to evaluate your methodology - were their any limitations? eg are you happy with your choice of interviewes and questions If you were to do the research again, would you do anything differently, and why?
Have you squeezed everything out of the interviews (are you required to include a full transcript in the apendices section?).

What @cheadle said. Do the responses of the teachers you interviewed match what your research suggests. If so, why or why not? And then what is your own take on it all?
