Interview Protocol for Voices of Undergraduate Students Taking Introductory Statistics Courses

This document outlines the interview protocol for Achieving the Dream’s (ATD) 2023-24 study, which explored the experiences of 50 undergraduate students enrolled in introductory statistics courses using Lumen One courseware. ATD conducted the interviews virtually via Zoom. Each session began with a student-guided tour of the Lumen One platform, during which students were asked to think aloud as they demonstrated their typical interactions with the courseware. Following this, students responded to a series of open-ended questions designed to examine their experiences in the course. The interview questions focused on students' reasons for enrolling, initial perceptions of statistics, and levels of motivation and confidence.
