8. Infinite number of instructional theories
- · in reading but, yes, many many more
- · It depends which one resonates with you
o
Jenette; development psychology – because of years
of work with children
o
Kieran & Haynam; Merril’s syntheses useful
(ISW experience)
- · Cognitive symbolic theory also useful: “all learning is analogy”
- · It depends on age; up to a point (Piaget)
3. “full collaboration”
- · Subject should be completely honest
- · Researchers could withhold information “in the service of research” but they need to explain this in their methodology
- · Researcher needs strong ethical sense; and the backing of ethics committee
1. “outsider v insider”
- · We wondered about this in the context of indigenous research
o
An insider perspective might be preferable;
avoids marginalization
o
Outsiders perspective (tabula rasa?), “newness”
might be useful
- · A collaboration between researchers – one insider, one outsider – could be useful
- · “full collaboration” could be easier as an insider
- · As a foreigner (outsider) in China, researching Tibet could be problematic
5. Whose voice is heard in research?
- · Researcher / co-researcher(s)
- · Funding source
- · Participants
- · Supervisors
- · Research assistant(s)
- · Translators
