Methodology and methods



DBR framework to organise the study

What is DBR and why it is appropriate for testing an intervention.

Researchers and other stakeholders working together to design artefacts. 

Explain full experience of teaching is pedagogy as planned, enacted and experienced and the research intends to explore the full journey- you can’t have one without the others.

To be able to test a brand new curriculum topic and intervention there needs to be a means of initiating the experience of teaching digital accessibility and collecting the data.

The methodology of lesson study

Overall benefits and social constructivism 

3 teachers - new subject - benefits of all have roles of teacher, assistant teacher and observer. Build new knowledge more effectively together. Peer support and collaboration - situated and a community of practice.

Using researcher and teachers to work together as per DBR.

Knowledge lesson study develops:

  • Developing Content knowledge - use mentor support as a new topic, researcher as subject expert - knowledgeable other - how it helped 1st round to 3rd. 
  • Developing Teaching knowledge - teachers as co-researchers from their perspective as professionals with prior pedagogical knowledge on the school context and building up experience and expertise being able to teach the new subject - use experienced teachers and not ITT
  • Developing Learner knowledge - focus on 3 learners - focus on learning process not the teaching performance.
  • The development of Pedagogical content knowledge - the development of the full set as the cycles progress - scaffolding and being able to become independent of the subject expert, using ZPD as a means to uncover the support needed from subject expert and peers.

Lesson study method to collect data 

Explain framework from Dudley (2011; 2014).

 #Educators, do your students know what assistive technology means? From tactile maps to screen readers, #AssistiveTechnology includes a number of devices that enable and foster the inclusion of people with disabilities. The Teach Access Curriculum Repository (TACR) has various resources designed to build out your courses and introduce your students to these types of technologies.  Go to the TACR (https://lnkd.in/gWMxzk2e) and check out the presentation slide deck on assistive technology and the assignment for using a screen reader, under the Psychology section.    #BackToSchool #Accessibility #Inclusion #ScreenReader #AssistiveDevices #Psychology #Disability #Disabilities #A11y https://teachaccess.org/curriculum-repository/ Facebook research post: PhD Thesis Writing Process: A Systematic Approach—How to Write Your Introduction To download complete article, use the link: https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED590321.pdf?f...

Ideas for initial quantitative survey data

Phase 1 will be an initial survey to paint a basic picture of knowledge in schools. This survey I aim to do with a large number of respondents to get a broad picture of a range of schools and scale to have more reliable data to be able to group and analyse. This will be followed up with semi structured interviews to add more detail and to explain and better understand the findings. This will be smaller in scale but across a cross section of participants from a range of settings. *This in terms of Dewey is going to help identify the extent of the problem and help reflect on the problem. Any findings can also be located in literature to triangulate and discuss. Phase 2 will be focus groups exploring a range of knowledge concepts and resources (suggested solutions) with both teachers and learners to identify their level of understanding of each of them is and what could be realistically embedded into the curriculum and at what point or made visible and understood in the education space to...
