title: The interpretive research group as an alternative to the interpersonal process recording.
abstract: In the spirit of trying something new, we abandoned the traditional interpersonal process recording for an entirely new way to teach students about communication--an interpretive research group. We propose the interpretive research group as a strategy for teaching communication and analysis that encourages active student-faculty participation, provides for more egalitarian student-teacher relationships, and creates a liberating learning environment.
