Unexpected twists and turns on the PhD journey can be directly related to the research itself, while others are related to the experience of the journey. For me, the most unexpected aspects were related to my health and saw me transition from writing and typing to dictating to the computer. This autoethnographic article is based on the lived experience of this unexpected journey and explores the implications for this necessary change in procedure. Implications included learning new processes for writing, transcribing interviews and controlling the computer by voice. Consideration of this experience viewed through Heidegger's ontological concept of being helped ease frustrations brought on by this unexpected twist. Becoming aware of the skills mentioned above may help others with accessibility issues, and reflection on the PhD journey from the perspective of this article may help others make sense of frustrations related to their own experiences.
博士之旅中意想不到的波折可能与研究本身直接相关,而另一些则与旅程的经历有关。对我来说,最意想不到的方面与我的健康有关,并见证了我从写作和打字到对电脑口授的转变。这篇自我民族志文章是基于这一意想不到的旅程的生活经验,并探讨了这一必要的程序变化的含义。其影响包括学习新的写作过程、转录采访和通过语音控制计算机。通过海德格尔存在的本体论概念来思考这一经验,有助于缓解这种意想不到的扭曲所带来的挫折。了解上面提到的技能可以帮助其他人解决可访问性问题,并且从本文的角度反思博士之旅可以帮助其他人理解与他们自己的经历相关的挫折。

This paper reports how I addressed the issue of extensive missing values in my PhD study, "Digital Competencies of High School Mathematics Teachers". I collected data using an online survey. Several methods exist to address the issue of missing values. I utilised multiple imputation (MI) as it provides more accurate results. The mean scores and scale reliability of survey items changed after imputation. While addressing the missing values, I observed my focus was completely shifted from the analysis of the survey to developing an approach to imputing missing values. Researchers should be ready for complex and challenging situations. Once encountered, they should use that challenging situation to instigate creative tension – a force that moves us closer to our goals – to motivate themselves and to learn new things. I used creative tension to move from the issue of missing values back towards my initial research goal (preserving sample size and a complete dataset for analysis).
本文报告了我如何解决我的博士研究“高中数学教师的数字能力”中广泛缺失值的问题。我通过在线调查收集数据。有几种方法可以解决缺失值的问题。我使用了多重输入(MI),因为它提供了更准确的结果。调查项目的平均得分和量表信度在归算后发生了变化。在处理缺失值的过程中,我发现我的注意力完全从分析调查转移到了开发一种计算缺失值的方法上。研究人员应该为复杂和具有挑战性的情况做好准备。一旦遇到这种情况,他们应该利用这种具有挑战性的情况来激发创造性的张力——一种使我们更接近目标的力量——来激励自己,学习新事物。我利用创造性的张力从缺失值的问题回到了我最初的研究目标(保留样本大小和完整的数据集以供分析)。

An increasingly multicultural Aotearoa early childhood education (ECE) landscape forms the context for my doctoral study in progress. My research explores the culturally embedded and negotiated environmental identities of a growing number of migrant Indian teachers. This article documents my experiences of confronting and navigating the unexpected while planning and conducting the data collection for my research. The primary challenges were access to participants as well as participant dropouts. I discuss how I mitigated these challenges by employing an alternate sampling method as well as accounting for participant attrition and trustworthiness of data. The modification strategies highlight flexibility and responsiveness as critical research tools. This article has implications for early career researchers intending to plan or begin their research in the light of any future disruptions, such as the current Covid-19 climate.
日益多元文化的澳大利亚早期儿童教育(ECE)景观形成了我正在进行的博士研究的背景。我的研究探讨了越来越多的移民印度教师的文化嵌入和协商的环境身份。这篇文章记录了我在为我的研究计划和进行数据收集时面对和处理意外情况的经历。主要的挑战是获得参与者以及参与者的退出。我将讨论如何通过采用替代抽样方法以及考虑参与者损耗和数据可信度来减轻这些挑战。修改策略强调灵活性和响应能力是关键的研究工具。这篇文章对打算根据未来的任何干扰(如当前的Covid-19气候)计划或开始研究的早期职业研究人员具有启示意义。

Challenges in doctoral socialisation 博士社会化的挑战
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-09-08 DOI: 10.15663/wje.v27i2.927
Atif Khalil
Socialisation in doctoral education is a multifaceted process through which students acquire the knowledge, skills and values required to perform in a scholarly community. The literature reports numerous experiences of doctoral students, but socialisation and the challenges faced by international students has received limited attention. As an international student, I have used a self-study approach to develop a personal narrative about some of the unexpected intellectual, emotional and cultural challenges I have faced during my doctoral study. I encountered those challenges through extending my social interactions, which is one of the key elements of socialisation. I argue that doctoral students need to take a reflective and proactive stance towards extending their social interactions to manage unexpected challenges and for a smooth transition to become active members in a scholarly community.
博士教育的社会化是一个多方面的过程,通过这个过程,学生获得在学术社区中表现所需的知识、技能和价值观。文献报道了许多博士生的经历,但国际学生面临的社会化和挑战受到的关注有限。作为一名国际学生,我采用自学的方法,对我在博士学习期间所面临的一些意想不到的智力、情感和文化挑战进行了个人叙述。我通过扩大社交互动来应对这些挑战,这是社会化的关键要素之一。我认为博士生需要采取反思和积极的态度来扩大他们的社会互动,以应对意想不到的挑战,并顺利过渡到成为学术团体的积极成员。

'Being' with research participants 与研究参与者在一起
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-09-08 DOI: 10.15663/wje.v27i2.922
D. Adhikari
The global Covid-19 pandemic has severely hit the lives of the people of Nepal. The country witnessed two phases of lockdown over 10 months from March 2020 until August 2021. I completed my PhD data collection in Nepal through February to April 2021, when the pandemic’s risk was naturally lowered. My research explores local value systems of communities involved in school governance in Lalitpur, Nepal. Accordingly, my participants included schools’ stakeholders: parents, teachers, locals, Education Officers and elected representatives. The Covid-19 situation in Nepal requires social distancing and mask wearing while talking with others. In my experience these health protocols disrupted my aims to develop rapport and build close, trusting relationships with my research participants. In this article, I reflect on ways I sought to build relationships of trust with my participants before conducting interviews amid Covid-19 regulations. I narrate my experiences as a Nepalese citizen and researcher in uncertain times. This research might be useful to researchers in establishing a relationship with participants, applying face to face interviews in unfavourable situations such as a pandemic.
全球新冠肺炎大流行严重影响了尼泊尔人民的生活。从2020年3月到2021年8月,在10个月内经历了两个阶段的封锁。我在尼泊尔完成了2021年2月至4月的博士数据收集,当时大流行的风险自然降低了。我的研究探讨了参与尼泊尔拉利特普尔学校治理的社区的当地价值体系。因此,我的参与者包括学校的利益相关者:家长、教师、当地人、教育官员和民选代表。尼泊尔新冠肺炎疫情要求保持社交距离,并在与他人交谈时戴口罩。根据我的经验,这些健康协议破坏了我与研究参与者建立亲密、信任关系的目标。在这篇文章中,我回顾了在Covid-19法规下进行采访之前,我试图与参与者建立信任关系的方法。我讲述了我作为尼泊尔公民和研究人员在不确定时期的经历。这项研究可能有助于研究人员与参与者建立关系,在诸如大流行等不利情况下进行面对面访谈。

New approaches to data collection with research participants 与研究参与者一起收集数据的新方法
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-09-08 DOI: 10.15663/wje.v27i2.933

This article draws from a larger doctoral study that examines parents' and teachers' perceptions of parental involvement in early childhood learning. The Covid-19 lockdown happened on March 18, 2020, in Cameroon before data collection was completed, therefore presenting an opportunity to investigate home-school relationships during this period. The private nursery school's initiative in organising distance learning during the lockdown was unexpected, considering Cameroon is a lower-middle-income country where most families struggle to afford digital tools for online learning. Thus, I was interested in finding out perceptions of how this was achieved. New approaches for data collection were adopted using WhatsApp messaging and Zoom interviews with parents and teachers; WhatsApp messaging was especially chosen to suit participants' needs in this context. The head teacher was recruited as a teacher-researcher who elicited children's stories through conversation and drawing techniques. There were challenges in renegotiating participants' consent and setting Zoom interviews due to differences in time zones and poor network connectivity. After data collection, retrospective ethical approval was sought to include the additional information in my research. The insights gained from the study can be helpful for researchers concerning emergency response strategies in data collection, steps for gaining further ethical approval and adding knowledge on research methodology about online data collection.
本文取材于一项更大的博士研究,该研究调查了父母和教师对父母参与幼儿学习的看法。2019冠状病毒病封锁发生在2020年3月18日喀麦隆,当时数据收集尚未完成,因此为调查这一时期的家校关系提供了机会。考虑到喀麦隆是一个中低收入国家,大多数家庭都难以负担在线学习的数字工具,这所私立幼儿园在封锁期间组织远程学习的举措令人意外。因此,我对如何实现这一目标很感兴趣。采用了新的数据收集方法,使用WhatsApp即时通讯和Zoom对家长和老师进行访谈;在这种情况下,选择WhatsApp即时通讯是为了满足参与者的需求。校长被聘为教师研究员,通过对话和绘画技巧引出孩子们的故事。由于时区差异和网络连接不佳,在重新协商参与者的同意和设置Zoom访谈方面存在挑战。在数据收集后,我们寻求回顾性的伦理批准,以将额外的信息包括在我的研究中。从研究中获得的见解可以帮助研究人员了解数据收集中的应急响应策略,获得进一步伦理批准的步骤以及增加有关在线数据收集的研究方法的知识。

On Snakes and Ladders 《蛇与梯
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-09-08 DOI: 10.15663/wje.v27i2.919
Thomas Everth
The climate emergency mandates a refocusing of society and education on the relationship between humans and the more-than-human world. Emerging from decades of social constructionism that openly promoted climate science denial, social and educational theorising now engages with new materialist philosophies and the agency of matter. Physicist Karen Barad’s book Meeting the Universe Halfway, cited over 13,000 times, offers an ontological foundation for new materialism based on her idiosyncratic application of quantum physics. While critically reviewing Barad, I found myself unexpectedly “sliding back down” into the terrain of my physicist pastime, rereading quantum mechanics in depth. I reflect here on how this “ontological detour” empowered me to “climb up a ladder” towards the theoretical foundation for my PhD project in climate change education. I argue that ontological grounding and cross-disciplinary engagement are vital for advancing research and gaining perspectives through lateral connections.
气候紧急情况要求社会和教育重新关注人类与非人类世界之间的关系。几十年来,社会建构主义公开提倡否认气候科学,社会和教育理论化现在与新的唯物主义哲学和物质能效论相结合。物理学家凯伦·巴拉德的著作《在半路上遇见宇宙》被引用了超过13000次,基于她对量子物理学的独特应用,为新唯物主义提供了本体论基础。在批判性地回顾巴拉德时,我发现自己意外地“滑回”了我的物理学消遣领域,重新深入阅读量子力学。在这里,我反思了这个“本体论的迂回”是如何让我“爬上梯子”,为我的气候变化教育博士项目奠定理论基础的。我认为,本体论基础和跨学科参与对于推进研究和通过横向联系获得观点至关重要。

Navigating (mis)assumptions in exploring teachers’ knowledge and practice of multiliteracies pedagogy 探究教师多元素养教学法知识与实践的导向(错误)假设
Q4 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2022-09-08 DOI: 10.15663/wje.v27i2.925

My research aims to explore teachers’ literacy experiences and teaching practices in New Zealand intermediate schools through the lens of multiliteracies pedagogy (MLP). However, upon the initial semi-structured interview, I realised my (mis)assumptions and learned that it could be demanding and challenging for teachers to narrate their literacy teaching beliefs and practices. Consequently, I reworked my interview protocols and switched from semi-structured to unstructured interviews. Then I conducted them in conjunction with the collection of observational data. I also extracted the key elements of MLP – diversity, multimodality and a repertoire of pedagogy – and substituted them with terms and practices more familiar to the teachers. Through this experience, I discovered that honesty, flexibility and adaptability are some of the essential characteristics when conducting research as a novice researcher.
我的研究旨在通过多元素养教学法(multiliteracies pedagogy, MLP)的视角来探讨新西兰中学教师的素养体验和教学实践。然而,在最初的半结构化访谈中,我意识到我的(错误)假设,并了解到教师叙述他们的识字教学信念和实践可能是要求和具有挑战性的。因此,我重新设计了我的面试方案,从半结构化的面试改为非结构化的面试。然后,我将它们与观测数据的收集结合起来进行。我还提取了MLP的关键要素——多样性、多模态和一整套教学法——并用教师更熟悉的术语和实践取而代之。通过这次经历,我发现诚实、灵活和适应能力是作为一个新手进行研究时的一些基本特征。
