Resumo
Use of reported thoughts in research interviews has rarely been examined although research interviews are a major source of data in qualitative research. This paper considers a conversation analytic examination of reported habitual thoughts, produced by twelve teachers during research interviews addressing their participation in a three-year action research study. Data are drawn from a collection of 137 reported thoughts and analysis establishes ways that habitual thoughts were used during interviews to report thought produced repetitively over time, rather than a thought produced on just one occasion. Habitual thoughts exhibited features identified with reported thoughts in other interactional environments but appeared particularly responsive to the local context produced through interviewer-interviewee interaction about the longitudinal research study that had required teachers to reflect on their established classroom practices and make changes to them.
