Abstract

ABSTRACT Qualitative practitioner research undertaken by teachers in schools is a vital means of developing pedagogy and practice, one that is under-valued in today’s educational climate. This essay explores representations of students in qualitative studies, which, I argue, necessarily transform student participants into ‘characters’ within the practitioner-researcher’s written narrative. Through exploration of an excerpt of student interview data, I highlight the importance of open, respectful interpretation of students’ words which maintains an awareness of the practitioner-researcher’s subjective position. This includes the need to disrupt reductive narratives of ‘hero’ teachers and ‘victim’ students which deprive young people of agency and respect. I suggest that such considerations of representation are relevant to teachers’ day-to-day practice in schools.

定性研究中的学生性格
摘要:学校教师进行的定性实践者研究是发展教育学和实践的重要手段,在当今的教育环境中,这一研究被低估了。本文探讨了质性研究中学生的表征,我认为,质性研究必然会将学生参与者转变为实践者-研究者书面叙事中的“人物”。通过对学生访谈数据摘录的探索,我强调了对学生话语进行公开、尊重的解释的重要性,这可以保持对从业者-研究者主观立场的认识。这包括需要打破对“英雄”教师和“受害者”学生的简化叙事,这些叙事剥夺了年轻人的能动性和尊重。我认为,这种代表性的考虑与教师在学校的日常实践有关。
