“…It may be that, given the prevalence of these procedures in the field, researchers are simply assuming the warrants or reasons for using both visual and language data in their studies. As Booth et al (2016) have argued, “Experienced researchers rarely state their warrants explicitly when they write for specialized readers in their fields because they can safely assume that these readers already know them” (p. 158). Although it is true that readers may know the value of these research procedures, this review indicates that the field may be oversimplifying the research process when combining procedures to collect multiple forms of data.…”

Connecting teachers’ perspectives with their practice is an enduring challenge shaping what and how we understand teaching. Researchers tend to bifurcate teachers’ work between their private and their public lives. These “worlds” bring particular meanings that are rendered through the analyses of visual documentations of teaching and teachers’ language-based accounts of their teaching. Combining these two forms of data is a basic research challenge both operationally and conceptually. Operationally, the researcher determines how the forms are connected and which decisions reflect (and are anchored in) conceptual warrants. This review identified 52 studies that combine visual and language data to study teachers and teaching to examine how data were collected and analyzed in the studies and what types of the theoretical frameworks were used to warrant the interpretations resulting from the connections. The review found only seven studies that balanced both worlds by explicitly warranting how the two forms of data were interconnected. Otherwise, most studies foregrounded one form of data and drew on the other to support or explain the first. Whereas most of the authors rationalized the connection between the forms of data in their studies, few took the more complex step of theorizing how the two worlds were connected. We argue that such incomplete connections risk inaccurately representing the work of teaching. We propose some design questions and research procedures that researchers may use to avoid bifurcating teachers’ worlds.

“…Schools of education (SOEs) are not immune to these challenges and must consider ways of supporting doctoral students at the dissertation stage. While there is an extensive literature base on general dissertation writing (e.g., Becker, 2007;Booth et al, 2016;Kamler & Thomson, 2008;Queen & Squires, 2011), research on organizational supports for EdD dissertators has received less attention. This gap is important because EdD students face different challenges when accessing available dissertation writing supports.…”

Leveraging PhD Students to Support EdD Dissertation Writing

Capello

2020

Doctoral faculty have long advocated for writing support for doctoral candidates during the dissertation stage. However, schools of education often fail to provide organizational supports to assist struggling dissertators. EdD students in CPED institutions may need additional supports due to shorter time-to-degree programs and full-time work commitments. This paper reports how one PhD student in a CPED institution acted as a dissertation consultant for 35 EdD dissertators and successfully guided them through their dissertations. The author examines how her background in composition, experiences in education research, and willingness to address socio-emotional needs contributed to this success and argues that PhD students with similar backgrounds can take up dissertation consulting work in schools of education as an organizational support for EdD dissertators. The mutual benefits of engaging in this work are discussed as is the potential for school-university partnerships stemming from PhD-EdD student collaboration during doctoral study.

Marble Research Papers it to several legal texts and news outlets, interferences are drawn to delineate the facets and timeline of the rise of whistleblowers protection on the EU agenda. While Ganapini's and Rick's research is dedicated to the development of EU policies that are directed against the practice of whistleblowing, Jonas Bradtke focusses on controversial counterterrorist policy in Germany. The relationship between privacy and security appears to be one of the grand dichotomies of western thought. How much privacy a citizen is willing-and should be willing-to sacrifice for the sake of privacy has been long debated. Bradtke devotes his attention to the newly introduced Police Law in North-Rhine Westphalia (PolG NRW). He employs a rather unique political science approach in the form of a taxonomy. In a careful manner, Bradtke categorises and evaluates sections of the newly introduced bill in North-Rhine Westphalia. He was concerned to know how privacy is perceived throughout the newly introduced law and whether that definition is at odds with citizens' perception of privacy. His work identifies potentially harmful activities for personal privacy within the PolG NRW and chases back shortcomings to an incomplete understanding of privacy. A directly experienceable form of the broader phenomenon of transparency is physical surveillance. Maximilian Grönegräs examines how architecture can be employed in order to monitor humans and gain control over their behaviour. The author focusses on the architectural example of the prison, which is designed in fundamentally different ways in Germany and the United States (US). With the aim of finding out to what extent German prison architecture can serve as a model for the improvement of prison architecture in the US, the author conducts an international comparison between the two countries. He closely considers the German perspective on prison design by interviewing three architects, who either have been or still are responsible for undertaking structural changes within two different German prisons. Among the main findings of Grönegräs' research is the observation that in both Germany and the US prison architecture is primarily determined by the country's respective dominant political and societal values. While Germany attempts to reduce the architectural surveillance of prisoners and increase their chances of becoming valuable members of society, US prisons deprive inmates of the majority of their former rights as citizens and allow their exploitation as a source of cheap labour. Just like Grönegräs, Emma Béat takes up the subject of physical surveillance by making use of a novel approach. Wishing to explore the relationship between academic writings on surveillance and elements of popular culture that concern themselves with the modern dimension of surveillance, Béat used the opportunity offered by the MaRBLe programme to illustrate such relationship in a creative and pedagogical way. To do so, she prepared an audio-guide companion to Nosedive, one of the most illustr...
