Interview is a technique that is used by a researcher in collecting data by having dialogue with the participant. The interviews were used to support the data collected from the document analysis (teacher’s lesson plans and observation).

Then, the interview protocols were also used to obtain the information during the interview. These protocols included a heading, an instruction to the interviewer, the questions related to the teacher’s understanding, experiences, and solutions. The semi-structured interviews were considered to be applied in these interviews because they are most useful for obtaining information to test a specific hypothesis that the researcher has in mind (Fraenkel et al., 2012). Besides, Cohen (cited in Herlina, 2014) reveals that the semi-structured interviews allow informants the freedom to express their views in their own

    Introduction Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, person-centred form of communication which focuses on the language of change. ‘It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion’ (Miller et al., 2013, p.29). The technique of motivational interviewing was developed by two psychologists, Bill Miller and Steve Rollnick.
