This week's readings: Understanding research assumptions using Gowin's Vee

Here are the three readings for this week:


1) Irwin, R. L. (1999). Listening to the Shapes of Collaborative Artmaking. Art Education, 52(2), 35-40.

2) Nielsen, W. S., & Nashon, S. (2007). Accessing Science Courses in Rural BC: A Cultural Border-Crossing Metaphor. Alberta Journal Of Educational Research,53(2), 174-188.




3) Sun, D. (2012). "Everything Goes Smoothly": A Case Study of an Immigrant Chinese Language Teacher's Personal Practical Knowledge. Teaching And Teacher Education: An International Journal Of Research And Studies, 28(5), 760-767.


These three articles use different methods, based on differing methodological and theoretical assumptions.

In your response, use ideas introduced in class to make sense of the assumptions underlying the research questions and methods used in these studies.
