on the life style and research standpoint of Educational Researcher in a professional context
The Journal of Higher Education, 2006Co-Authors: Sun YuantaoAbstract:In a professional academic system,the conflict and game between universality and particularity,publicity and specialty leads to a complex situation of academic development.When the negative effect of professionalization was criticized by other disciplines,Educational Researchers should keep calm.In Chinese pedagogy construction,the professionalization is not enough.So we should not oppose publicity against specialty.What we should do is to advocate the public caring of Educational Researchers when promoting the porfessionalization of Educational research.In concrete,when coming to Educational practice,Educational Researchers should keep a reasonable tension between the consciousness of "getting involved" and "keeping distance";when participating public cultural discussion,Educational Researchers should take a professional position so as to take his public responsibility.

Educational research methods for researching innovations in teaching learning and assessment the nursing lecturer as Researcher
Nurse Education in Practice, 2015Co-Authors: Diane MarksmaranAbstract:The author, who has had previous experience as a nurse Researcher, has been engaged in helping nurse lecturers to undertake evaluation research studies into innovations in their teaching, learning and assessment methods. In order to undertake this work successfully, it was important to move from thinking like a nurse Researcher to thinking like an Educational Researcher and developing the role of the nursing lecturer as Researcher of their teaching. This article explores the difference between evaluation and evaluation research and argues for the need to use Educational research methods when undertaking evaluation research into innovations in teaching, learning and assessment. A new model for Educational evaluation research is presented together with two case examples of the model in use. The model has been tested on over 30 research studies into innovations in teaching, learning and assessment over the past 8 years.

post school transitions of disadvantaged students published as making the most of the mosaic facilitating post school transitions to higher education of disadvantaged students australian Educational Researcher v 38
2011Co-Authors: J A AbbottchapmanAbstract:Research studies of post-school education and training conducted in Australia and internationally have revealed a mosaic of students’ education and employment experiences, with a multiplicity of nonlinear pathways. These tend to be more fragmentary for disadvantaged students, especially those of low socio-economic background, rural students, and mature aged students seeking a ‘second chance’ education. Challenges faced by students in their transitions to higher education are made more complex because of the intersection of vertical stratification created by institutional and sectoral status hierarchies and segmentation, especially relating to ‘academic’ and ‘vocational’ education and training, and the horizontal stratification of regional, rural and remote locations in which students live. If we are to achieve the equity goals set by the Bradley Review (Bradley et al., Review of Australian Higher Education Final Report, 2008) we need to acknowledge and work with the complex realities of disadvantaged students’ situations, starting at the school level. Interrelated factors at the individual, community and institutional level which continue to inhibit student take-up of higher education places are discussed in the context of discursive constructions of ‘disadvantage’ and ‘choice’ in late modernity. Research highlights the need to facilitate students’ post-school transitions by developing student resilience, institutional responsiveness and policy reflexivity through transformative education.

What Do New Views of Knowledge and Thinking Have to Say About Research on Teacher Learning?
Educational Researcher, 2000Co-Authors: R. T. Putnam, H. BorkoAbstract:The education and research communities are abuzz with new (or at least re-discovered) ideas about the nature of cognition and learning. Terms like "situated cognition," "distributed cognition," and "communities of practice" fill the air. Recent dialogue in Educational Researcher (Anderson, Reder, & Simon, 1996, 1997; Greeno, 1997) typ- ifies this discussion. Some have argued that the shifts in world view that these discussions represent are even more fundamental than the now-historical shift from behaviorist to cognitive views of learning (Shuell, 1986).

opportunities and possibilities philosophical hermeneutics and the Educational Researcher
Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2014Co-Authors: Loren G AgreyAbstract:The opportunities that philosophical hermeneutics provide as a research tool are explored and it is shown that this qualitative research method can be employed as a valuable tool for the Educational Researcher. Used as an alternative to the standard quantitative approach to Educational research, currently being the dominant paradigm of data collection and analysis, the hermeneutic approach provides for a variety of interesting possibilities. This concept of research allows one to use interpretation to learn and understand by building on one's own experiences and existing fore-structure while not attempting to remove oneself from the object being studied. When successfully applied, Researchers from within the human sciences, and specifically education, can benefit from this alternative method.
