Résumé	A remote semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection method in which a researcher conducts a guided, flexible conversation with a participant over a distance-bridging medium — telephone, video conferencing, or voice-over-IP — using a prepared topic guide with open-ended questions while allowing natural conversational elaboration. It combines the structure and comparability of a protocol-driven approach with the depth and flexibility characteristic of qualitative inquiry, delivered without physical co-presence.	A face-to-face semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection technique in which a researcher meets a participant in person and follows a prepared topic guide of open-ended questions while retaining the flexibility to probe, reorder, and explore emerging themes. It combines the consistency of a predetermined agenda with the depth and responsiveness of an open dialogue, making it one of the most widely used methods in qualitative and mixed-methods research across the social, health, and educational sciences.
