  • the unavoidable intervention of Educational Research a framework for reconsidering Researcher practitioner cooperation
    Educational Researcher, 1997
    Co-Authors: Jon Wagner
    Abstract:

    As a framework for stimulating further, empirical investigation, I describe three different forms of direct Researcher practitioner cooperation: data-extraction agreements, clinical partnerships, and co-learning agreements. Each form reflects different social arrangements, inquiry and reporting strategies, and operating assumptions, and each form also has different implications for supporting Educational Research and reform. Distinctions between these three forms illustrate some of the unavoidable ways in which Educational Research projects are social interventions in the lives of project participants. This prospect raises questions about how Researchers and practitioners could be better prepared to design them as such.

  • using a chicana feminist epistemology in Educational Research
    Harvard Educational Review, 1998
    Co-Authors: Dolores Delgado Bernal
    Abstract:

    In this article, Dolores Delgado Bernal outlines a Chicana feminist epistemological framework that is new to the field of Educational Research. This framework, which draws from the existing work of Chicana feminists, questions the notions of objectivity and a universal foundation of knowledge. A Chicana feminist epistemology is also grounded in the life experiences of Chicanas and involves Chicana Research participants in analyzing how their lives are being interpreted, documented, and reported, while acknowledging that many Chicanas lead lives with significantly different opportunity structures than men or White women. As part of this framework, Delgado Bernal also introduces the concept of cultural intuition to name a complex process that acknowledges the unique viewpoints that many Chicana scholars bring to the Research process. In the latter half of the article, she illustrates the importance of this framework in Educational Research by describing an oral history project on Chicana student resistance ...

  • implications of neuroimaging for Educational Research
    Handbook of research on educational communications and technology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Pavlo D Antonenko, Tamara Van Gog, Fred Paas
    Abstract:

    Neural functions are fundamental to learning, instruction, and performance. Although tremendous progress has been made in neuroscience in the past two decades, its applications in Educational Research are just beginning to be realized. This review focuses on selected technologies, methods, and findings from neuroscience that have important implications for Educational sciences. Specifically, this chapter discusses conceptual and empirical Research on the use, implications, and limitations of neuroimaging techniques such as continuous electroencephalography, event-related potentials, and functional magnetic resonance imaging in the domains of language and reading, mathematics learning, problem solving, cognitive load, and affective processes in learning. Neuroimaging has enabled scientists to open “the black box” of neural activity that underlies learning. It seems timely, therefore, to consider how Educational Researchers may employ the increased understanding of brain function to explore Educational questions.
