Interview books and papers

BOOK: (Seidman, 2006) Bertaux (1981) has argued that those who urge educational researchers to imitate the national sciences seem to ignore one basic difference between the subjects of enquiry in the natural sciences and those in the social sciences. The subjects of inquiry in the social sciences can talk and think (8) Recounting narratives of experience has been the major way throughout Recorded history that humans have made sense of their experience (8) At the root of in-depth interviewing is an interest in understanding the lift experience of other people and the meaning they make of that experience (9) An observer can watch behaviour and have an observational understanding but what the observer understands as a result of observation may not be all consistent with how a person views or experiences his own behaviour (9) To understand a person’s behaviour the observer would have to gain access to the person subjective understanding knowing what meaning he or she attributes to it (10) ...

Recent research indicates that it is younger generations, particularly Generation Z and millennials, who increasingly choose to enable subtitles, even in countries like the USA or Poland, where subtitling has not been prevalent traditionally [3 –7]. Reasons cited for watching content with subtitles include unclear audio, fast speech rates, background music, challenging accents, the desire to focus, language learning, and not wanting to disturb family members or roommates [8–10]. One notable trend is the practice of watching videos with muted sound on mobile devices, particularly short-form content on socia...

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...
