Abstract
ABSTRACT The main objective of this research is to present and analyse the collaboration process established between the ethnographers and a school that faces the challenge of promoting change towards a more inclusive and social justice model. The methods used to carry out this four-year process were, in essence, participatory observation in multiple contexts, individual interviews and discussion groups and, finally, informal conversations with all the participants of the process. The results demonstrate the conditions and advantages that come out of the collaboration process between all those involved and the ethnographers; the importance of learning and knowing how to listen to the students’ voices; and the changes made to the education process that bolster the introduction of a more inclusive and social justice model in schooling.
期刊介绍:
Ethnography and Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles that illuminate educational practices through empirical methodologies, which prioritise the experiences and perspectives of those involved. The journal is open to a wide range of ethnographic research that emanates from the perspectives of sociology, linguistics, history, psychology and general educational studies as well as anthropology. The journal’s priority is to support ethnographic research that involves long-term engagement with those studied in order to understand their cultures, uses multiple methods of generating data, and recognises the centrality of the researcher in the research process. The journal welcomes substantive and methodological articles that seek to explicate and challenge the effects of educational policies and practices; interrogate and develop theories about educational structures, policies and experiences; highlight the agency of educational actors; and provide accounts of how the everyday practices of those engaged in education are instrumental in social reproduction.
