Sikes, Pat and Platt, Madeline
- Abstract
Purpose: This paper considers an undergraduate student's coming to, and use of, an ethnographic approach as a particularly appropriate way in which to investigate aspects of life in a British hospital school. Such schools occupy a liminal position with regard to education policy and provision. There is a paucity of research on hospital schools and particularly of the experiences and perceptions of teachers who work in them. This lack of research has implications for policy development. The paper therefore offers some rare insights into one of these schools. It also gives insights into how ethnography can challenge taken for granted assumptions. Design/methodology/approach: An ethnographic participant observer approach was adopted. Findings: This paper gives insights into how ethnography can challenge researchers' taken for granted assumptions as well as offering illustration of some aspects of life in schools. Originality/value: Although there is an extensive literature on uses of ethnography, this approach has rarely been applied to hospital schools. The paper makes a small step towards addressing this lack.

15. Teachers' perceptions of teacher professional development in Trinidad and Tobago : gaps between policy and practice
- Author

Hyatali, Saleema, Neckles, Themesa, and Sikes, Pat
- Abstract
The Ministry of Education of Trinidad and Tobago offered professional development workshops to teachers during the school vacation period 2010-2018. This study investigated teachers' perspectives on teacher professional development, based largely on their professional learning experiences in the workshops and other teacher professional development (TPD) activities. Four research questions were constructed to gain an understanding of teachers' conceptualisation of TPD, the knowledge and skills developed, their perceived implementation of this knowledge and these skills, and subsequent improved student learning. The research methods used were face to face interviews, workshop evaluation forms, and electronic survey forms. Data were processed using matrices to identify comments frequently made by participants, to which thematic analysis was applied. The findings indicated participants' perceptions of TPD and the benefits they derived. Teachers perceived that they developed skills and pedagogical knowledge but minimal increase in content knowledge. Improved student learning was reported in the areas of student engagement and student satisfaction; however, there was no reference to improved grades or test scores. Several teachers experienced constraints in their professional development and were unable to implement strategies due to lack of adequate or available resources. Given the generally positive feedback across cohorts of participants, I recommend that the inclusion of TPD should be stipulated in teachers' job conditions, to allow for all students to have the opportunity to be taught by professionally trained teachers. The employer would be required to introduce systems and structures which would be appropriate for a postcolonial nation which inherited a colonial education legacy. Additionally, engagement in future professional development activity can be improved by rethinking its scheduling and providing institutional support.

RETIREMENT policies ,TEACHERS' workload ,RESEARCH personnel ,GRADUATE education ,BUREAUCRACY - Abstract
Universities of technology in South Africa have transitioned from being vocational and professional education-based institutions to fully fledged universities in the last sixteen years. Despite this systemic change, it remains unclear whether researchers and academics at one university of technology have sufficiently transformed their research ethos and repertoires to effectively cope with the research and technology innovation demands of a research-oriented university. The researchers wondered about the extent to which this university's academics and researchers, who traditionally have been accustomed to training graduates for work placement, have fully embraced a culture of research and innovation. Drawing on inputs from eight academics who exhibited resistance to research productivity, by overemphasizing teaching while downplaying their research responsibilities, this article explores the motivations for such counterproductive behavior, to make inferences about existing barriers to research productivity at the university. Weak connectivity, unsophisticated laboratory software, limited subscriptions to leading databases, heavy teaching loads, and bureaucratic constraints and retirement policies were found to be among the technological, organizational, and environmental constraints that undermined research participation and generated resistance to research and innovation.

17. "Are You a TA Practitioner, Then?" – Identity Constructions in Post-Normal Science.

TECHNOLOGY assessment ,SOCIAL sciences ,DISCOURSE analysis ,TECHNOLOGY education ,IDENTIFICATION - Abstract
Technology assessment (TA) is a paradigmatic case for the manifold and, at times, ambiguous processes of identity formation of researchers in inter- and transdisciplinary settings. TA combines the natural, technical, and social sciences and follows the multiple missions of scientific analysis, public outreach, and policy advice. However, despite this diversity, it also constitutes a genuine community with its own discourses, conferences, and publications. To which extent "being a TA practitioner" also provides for a genuine scholarly identity is still unclear. Building on interviews with technology assessment practitioners at an academic TA institute, we ask what inter/trans/disciplinary identification patterns emerge in this field. Our analysis shows that TA practitioners adopt multiple identities, from "enthusiastic TA practitioner" to "strong interdisciplinarian" or "disciplinarian" – with distinct identity troubles inherent in all these options. We find that generational affiliation plays a vital role in identity formation. It relates to different primary orientations (towards research or advisory practices), inter/disciplinary backgrounds, contracting modes, and lengths of time spent at the TA institute. We conclude firstly, that disciplinary categories figure strongly in transdisciplinary identities; secondly, that the relation of chronos and identity warrants more substantial consideration: as time spent at a transdisciplinary institute as or as perceived options for "futuring one's identity"; thirdly, that our understanding of academic generations could profit from a more sociological conception; and, fourthly, that TA's multidisciplinary setup and threefold orientation towards science, society, and policy result in multiplying possible identities and thus making it difficult to form a stable community.

18. Ageing and Childhood: Dementia in Chinese-Language Picturebooks.

CHINESE people ,CHILDREN'S books ,DEMENTIA ,ALZHEIMER'S disease ,AGING - Abstract
Although the number of people with dementia has been increasing rapidly in the Chinese-speaking world, there are relatively few Chinese children's books published on the topic. This article analyses two Chinese-language picturebooks that approach the representation of dementia in contrasting ways. Azihaimo xiansheng [Mr Alzheimer] (2017) by Chen Yihui and Xue Huiying downplays the threat of the disease by anthropomorphising it as a friendly man while Zhanxin de yitian [A New Day] (2017) by Guo Yu and Lianggen creates a surrealist nightmarish vision of what a person with dementia feels like daily. The article argues that, although the former book romanticises dementia while the latter presents it as a terrifying condition, both texts infantilise the person with dementia, thus reinforcing ageist tropes.

Representation plays a vital role in picture books as it has the potential to affect and alter readers' perceptions through selected techniques and materials. In particular, the portrayal of the older adults in picture books may transfigure social well-being due to its impact on intergenerational relationships. This issue is critical as conventional portrayals may lead to societal misconceptions while constructing dismissive attitudes towards old age affecting intergenerational relationships. This article aims to reflect on how visual and verbal narrative strategies can present intergenerational relations constructively, depicting ageing as a cumulative transitional experience focusing on degrees of maturation through lifelong lived events to be shared with younger generation. As such, the article examines the illustration of ageing in the contemporary picture book, My Grandma's Photos (2019), presenting an affirmative perspective on tackling possible challenges related to old age. The selected picture book is analysed regarding visual and textual strategies and the selective use of material culture weaved into its storyline. This is supported by structured interviews with the author, Özge Bahar Sunar, and the illustrator, Senta Urgan, to ascertain how the work evolved into its final state. Hence, the article examines the whole making process and how this process contributes to the final narrative. We point out the relevance between the portrayal of the older adult via the life course approach and pinpoint the positive intergenerational relationships. In sum, this article speculates on how My Grandma's Photos builds bridges between generations through materialities embedded in the text and illustrations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent research into LGBTQ kinship has suggested that reproductive technology might stabilise and/or disrupt dominant ideals about the importance of biogenetic relatedness in family formation. This article examines the way adults raised in lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) households are interested in tracing queer family histories, rather than solely their biological relations. Data comes from biographical narrative interviews with twenty-two adult children raised by LGBTQ parents. The article examines how participants' kinship stories relate to parents' identities and journeys to, and through, LGBTQ parenthood. Knowledge of queer kinship was pivotal in the process of self-making and enabled participants to produce and express connections between themselves and their LGBTQ parents. Furthermore, queer social histories allowed them to articulate their affinity to LGBTQ communities and culture more widely, particularly noting their knowledge and experience of socio-legal discrimination against LGBTQ people. Thus, kinship narratives of people raised by LGBTQ parents highlight that the desire to 'know where we come from' is not rooted exclusively in biogenetics. In this case, kinship stories disrupted the established biogenetic narrative, stressing the importance of LGBTQ culture and history for constructing a connection between collective and individual identity.

Our work presents a meta-synthesis of 76 peer-reviewed, qualitative-research journal articles related to our research interest in the spiritual care training available for relatives and friends of people living with dementia. A total of 244 articles was reviewed prior to the application of selection criteria. The final sample of 2698 research participants across our selection of 76 peer-reviewed qualitative-research studies serves to demonstrate the value of spiritual care as an aspect of holistic palliative and dementia care. The development and implementation of spiritual-care standards and practices in healthcare generally is increasingly widespread. Most current training resources are designed for healthcare professionals, and our meta-synthesis identifies the need for training resources that equip and train volunteer spiritual carers, namely, the relatives and friends of people living with dementia. Our meta-synthesis suggests there is a need to develop training resources that equip relatives and friends with skills that prioritise attentive presence, spiritual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and, primarily, sensory spiritual practices. Beyond this meta-synthesis, developing and trialling suitable training materials and events will become the focus of an action research project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is hard to coherently narrate traumatic memories as they are intensely emotional and fragmented. I created this narrative inquiry in the hope of enacting care and performing mourning for the unexpected death of Seonjeong Yi Lebrun (1983–2017). Seonjeong was a Korean-born art education researcher in Canada whose work exemplified how artistic approaches to narrative evoke empathy and connectivity. Her research spanned arts-based self-study to participatory action research about comfort women (Korean sex slaves for the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second World War). In performing mourning for Seonjeong through examining her research, I endeavour to have my research possibly initiate a new form of arts-based collective care for her, comfort women and those suffering from other forms of trauma.

- Abstract
The digital sphere, especially social media, is perceived as a new form of public sphere where individuals can share and circulate information and participate in formal and informal democratic processes albeit in the context of echo chambers and confirmation biases. Gender in the Digital Sphere explores how we represent, express, and engage with the digital world via the lens of gender. Each chapter touches on one of the three pillars of engagement, expression, or representation in relation to the digital world, and themes range from social media, body image and identity to feminist activism to gender and digital narratives. The contributors raise important questions about the impact of digital media in everyday life and make connections between theory and everyday accounts of gender and technology.

- Abstract
Assessing Autoethnography provides readers with multiple ways to analyze autoethnographies and other forms of personal narrative writing. Given the proliferation of such forms across academic contexts, the book offers a guide of what autoethnography is, why it matters, and how to do it.Taking each of the three parts of auto-, ethno-, and -graphy in detail, Herrmann, and Adams, provide criteria and points of discussion to ensure robust assessment of an autoethnographic work as a whole. Every chapter is accompanied with exemplars and considers issues such as ethics, storytelling, and good writing. The book discerns the kinds of personal experiences that often work best for autoethnographic projects and provide ways to evaluate fieldwork, interviews, and representations.Written by two experts in the field, Assessing Autoethnography offers guidance to scholars and dissertation advisors, across diverse disciplines, in producing autoethnographic work and utilizing autoethnographic methods. The book will be of interest to researchers in the fields of Communication Studies, Education, Sociology, Women's and Gender Studies, Critical Race Studies, Mass Communication, English, and other related disciplines.

- Abstract
Written by scholars from three generations of qualitative methodologists, Qualitative Research Design and Methods: An Introduction situates qualitative research within the history of the field and integrates this history within discussions of specific research designs. This novel approach allows readers to come to know the genealogy of the field and how previous generations of scholars have informed what we know today as qualitative research. The text reflects these more traditional as well as emerging qualitative research approaches, providing a theoretically grounded approach to designing and implementing qualitative research studies. While some introductory research texts focus on the specific methods of qualitative research with little attention to the role of theory, this book forefronts theory in qualitative research. The authors speak to students new to qualitative research with clear discussions of theory and theoretical concepts and how those notions must be considered throughout all aspects of research design, implementation, and representation of findings. Each chapter integrates discussion of theory. In addition, the book highlights the role of ethics in the same way with a chapter at the beginning as well as discussions of ethics threaded throughout each of the design chapters. Qualitative Research Design and Methods is THE introductory textbook for students taking introductory masters and doctoral courses in qualitative research. Instructors in those classes will appreciate the straightforward language and concepts provided by the authors.Perfect for courses such as: Introduction to Qualitative Research and Qualitative Research Design

- Abstract
Early career researchers (ECRs) in education bring unique histories of professional practice and development into academic research communities. Women Becoming Practitioner Researchers explores autoethnographies of twelve women who were, or still are, schoolteachers in the process of becoming researchers. Using autoethnography to disrupt the established systems that distance researchers from their research, the chapters in this volume are curated to apply theory to this important transition. This theory as method approach provides a foundation for understanding as the authors'weave threads of identities and experiences into their roles as practitioner researchers.

- Teachers--Professional relationships, Teachers--In-service training, Career development
- Abstract
This book presents a new set of ideas to challenge established thinking and to guide researching and designing teacher professional development. Grounded in the work of the Learning4Teaching Project which documented public-sector teachers'experiences and learning from professional development in three countries, the volume presents a sociomaterial perspective on teacher sensemaking. This teacher-centered perspective disputes the'conventional calculus'in which teachers learn content that they apply in their classrooms. Part I outlines conventional issues in how teacher learning and professional development have been conceptualized and studied; Part II introduces a new group of concepts that rethink these assumptions; and Part III offers important insights to inform professional development across disciplines, cultures, and contexts.Written by a leading international teacher educator in an accessible style that incorporates visual representations and project data, the book will appeal to practitioners, scholars, and researchers who design and research how teachers learn in professional development.

- Abstract
Grief and loss are fundamental aspects of the human experience. Narrative and Grief examines the desire to make sense out of the nonsensical by exploring specific stories of loss and grief, spanning from the loss of a parent, child, or partner, loss within larger family systems; and ambiguous and anticipatory loss to broader cultural aspects of grief. The autoethnographic essays in this book reflect on the unique and individual experiences of each contributor's story. Simultaneously, these essays reveal that although each grief experience is unique, it is also collective, evoking broader cultural themes related to loss and grief. Scholars of communication, sociology, and family studies will find this book of particular interest.

- Abstract
This volume seeks to instigate a discussion about dementia in theatre. The discussions in this book borrow from the literature on dementia's representation in other artforms, while reflecting on theatre's unique capacity to incorporate multiple artforms in a live context (hypermediacy). The author examines constructions of diegesis and the use of various performance tools, including physical theatre, puppetry, and postdramatic performance. She discusses stage representations of interior experiences of dementia; selfhood in dementia; the demarcation of those with dementia from those without; endings, erasure, and the pursuit of catharsis; placelessness and disruptions of traditional dramatic constructions of time; and ultimately, performances creatively led by people with dementia. The book traces patterns of narrativisation on the stage—including common dramaturgical forms, settings, and character relationships—as well as examples that transcend mainstream representation. This book is important reading for theatre and performance students, scholars, and practitioners, as well as cultural studies writers engaged in research about narratives of dementia.

- Abstract
Offering speculation upon the creation of future educational possibilities for all, this book stories both an initial event leading to a sixteen-year-old student's withdrawal from a Further Education college on her first day, and an imaginary second chance to support her at university ten years later. Animating potential for intensities and becoming in writing, this work exemplifies different approaches to writing, which foster inquiry and speculation to trouble academic constraints capable of acting as a barrier to so many. Writing in counterpoint to the traditional map of the academic thesis, literature, (non)methodologies and ethics are imbricated in this book, which readers are invited to read in non-linear ways, choosing from multiple entryways and exits.This book will be of particular interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and doctoral supervisors, in Education, as well as practitioners involved in supporting students'writing. Perhaps, most crucially, the book will provoke entry into, provocations within and research-creative inventions that extend the continuing emergence of post qualitative inquiry.

- Abstract
This book discusses the cultural importance of spirits, what spirits want, and how humans interact with them, using examples from around the world and through time. Examples range from the vengeful spirits of the Zulu that cast lightning bolts from clear skies to punish wrongdoers, to the benevolent Puebloan Kachina that encourage prosperity, safety, and rain in the arid American Southwest. The case studies illustrate how humans seek to cooperate (or counteract) spirits to heal the physical and spiritual ailments of their people, to divine the truth, or to gain resources. Building from their cross-cultural analyses, the authors further discuss how our physiology and psychology impact our interaction with the spirits. Readers will come away with an appreciation of the beauty and power of the spirits that continue to shape the lives of people around the world.

- Abstract
Researchers in applied linguistics have found medical and health contexts to be fertile grounds for study, from macro-levels of conceptual analyses to micro-levels of the'turn-by-turn.'The rich array of health contexts include medical research itself, clinical encounters, medical education and training, caregivers and patients in everyday life – from the formal and ritualized to the ad hoc and ephemeral. This volume foregrounds the crucial role of applied linguists addressing real world problems, while simultaneously highlighting the varied ways that health can be understood as a rich site of language inquiry in its own right. Chapters cover a range of health topics including medical training, medical interaction, disability in education, health policy analysis and recommendations, multidisciplinary research teams, and medical ethics. While reporting and reflecting on their specific topics in clinical and health contexts, contributors also articulate their own hybrid identities as professional collaborators in health research, education, and policy.

- Abstract
Gender and sexual diversity is becoming a topic in everyday school life, but still occupies a precarious position in it - this not only affects LGBTIQ• children and young people, but also educational professionals, as this study shows. Based on a critically deconstructive pedagogy and on qualitative interviews with lesbian, gay, bi- and heterosexual as well as inter•, trans• and cisgender teachers, the study reconstructs social patterns of interpretation about how they deal with and address diverse lifestyles at school and in the classroom. The study makes an innovative contribution to an area of educational science that has hardly been researched so far and thus provides new impulses for a queer professionalisation of (future) teachers.

- Abstract
Engaging education policy from kindergarten to college Author Tyler S. Branson argues that education reform initiatives in the twentieth century can be understood in terms of historical shifts in the ideas, interests, and governing arrangements that inform the teaching of writing. Today, policy regimes of “accountability” shape education reform programs such as Common Core in K-12 and Dual Enrollment in postsecondary institutions. This book reopens the conversation between policy makers and writing teachers, empirically describing the field's institutional/historical relationship to policy and the ways teachers work on a daily basis to carry out policy. Federal and state accountability policy significantly shapes classrooms before teachers even enter them, but Branson argues the classroom is where teachers leverage disciplinary knowledge about writing to bridge, partner with, support, and sometimes resist education policies. Branson deftly blends policy critique, archival analysis, and participant observation to offer the first scholarly treatment of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Washington Task Force as well as a rare empirical study of a dual enrollment course offered in a high school. This book's macro-and-micro-level analysis of education policy reveals how writing teachers, researchers, and administrators can strengthen their commitments to successfully teaching their students across all levels of education, while deepening their understanding of the ways education policy helps—and hinders—those commitments.
