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. In this study, teacher readiness to teach digital accessibility is understood not as a fixed trait, but as a dynamic construct shaped by contextual, experiential, and sys...

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.

Critically, PCK serves as the foundation of effective teaching, bridging the gap between the...

Another set of thematic analysis papers

Braun and Clarke (2021);  Massey, 2011;   Trainor and Bundon (2021); Byrne (2022); Peel (2020). One size fits all? What counts as quality practice in (reflexive) thematic analysis? Braun and Clarke (2021) Following procedure is not a guarantor for doing  ‘ good TA (p.329) TA does  –  we believe  –  offer a distinct way of working with qualitative data, and that, although it shares some features in common with other approaches that seek to identify  ‘ patterns ’  in data (e.g., grounded theory, interpretative phenomenological analysis [IPA] or qualitative content analysis), it is nonetheless a method (or cluster of methods) in its own right. (p.330) Through this writing, developing a TA website, 1  and teaching, our understanding of the (evolving) landscape of TA (as we see it)   has deepened, as has our clarification of where our approach  ‘ fits, ’ and what   elements are most vital to quality (reflexive) TA, and why.
