AKITA – September 2010 - Exploring and Investigating Non-Judgmental Stances – Hiratsuka Takaaki and Wayne Malcolm. This joint presentation covered
a recent research study into student-teacher interactions within the classroom,
and how teachers make and implement decisions. The focus of the talk was
on data collected by the two researchers starting a comparison between
"Action Research" with "Exploratory Practice." Takaaki
and Malcolm are using an exploratory practice design to guide the study.
They reviewed the pertinent literature, and presented their data collection
methodology and data analysis. The talk ended with a lively question and
answer session discussing the merits and demerits, as well as implications
of this particular qualitative study.
