The authors encountered several challenges employing the repertory grid application in its standard form for an inquiry into the inherent moral significance of teachers’ everyday classroom interactions.

In this paper, the authors will set out in detail how, on the basis of the standard repertory grid application, they developed a repertory interview method.

The method, which developed by the authors, can be used to collect data that could foster a thorough understanding of the inherent moral significance of teachers’ day-to-day classroom interactions.
