Pragmatism as ontology and epistemology

Ontological and Epistemological Position This research is grounded in a  pragmatic paradigm , which embraces methodological pluralism and foregrounds the research question as the primary driver of methodological choices. Rather than aligning exclusively with either a positivist or interpretivist worldview, pragmatism offers a flexible ontological and epistemological stance that recognises the value of both objective and subjective understandings of educational practice. Ontologically , pragmatism rejects rigid dualisms between realism and relativism, instead adopting a  situated, action-oriented ontology  that acknowledges both the existence of observable educational phenomena (such as curriculum structures or pedagogical practices) and the constructed meanings that teachers and learners ascribe to them.

PCK as conceptual framework

Conceptual frameworks guiding this study:   The social model of disability and inclusive design  Pedagogical content knowledge  Pedagogy as planned, enacted and experienced  Pedagogical Content Knowledge and Its Importance for Teachers Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), a concept first introduced by Lee Shulman (1986), represents the intersection of a teacher’s understanding of subject matter and their knowledge of how to teach that subject effectively. It transcends mere content knowledge and generic pedagogical strategies, focusing instead on the nuanced ways in which subject matter is transformed for teaching. PCK encompasses an understanding of what makes specific topics difficult or easy to learn, the preconceptions and misconceptions learners commonly bring to the classroom, and the most effective strategies for helping students grasp complex concepts (Shulman, 1987). Critically, PCK serves as the foundation of effective teaching, bridging the gap between the...
