Centre Judgements: Teaching Staff Interviews, Summer 2020

Steve Holmes, Darren Churchward, Emma Howard, Ellie Keys, Fiona Leahy, Diana Tonin and Beth Black report 54 teaching-staff interviews conducted July 28–August 12, 2020. These preceded the reversal. Recruitment followed volunteer survey responses; the authors could not fully control the final sample (§2.2).^[1]

Why timing matters

A recollection gathered before a decision answers different questions from one gathered afterward. Here, read the accounts as evidence of participants’ judgment processes. Compare the later discrepancy study for a different kind of evidence.
