I was up at 5am again this morning working on my Ed.D.? It’s hard when it’s so dark and it’s the end of term…

After looking at various research methodologies, I think I’m going to go for a combination of a hermenutic, philosophical and pragmatic approaches in the dialectical tradition. It could all end up a mess, but I think I’m on to something: digital literacies are culturally and very specifically situated, but have broader elements which can be discussed, synthesized and made sense of.

Here’s what I’ve been looking at today - all from the Handbook of Complementary Methods in Education Research:

• E. Bredo - Philosophies of Educational Research
• N.C. Burbules & B.R. Warnick - Philosophical Inquiry
• F.M. Connelly & D.J. Clandinin - Narrative Inquiry
• C. Genishi & T. Glupczynski - Language and Literacy Research: Multiple Methods and Perspectives
