GEOGRAPHY LITERACY OF OBSERVATION INTRODUCTION LANDSCAPE  REPRESENTATION PLACE FOR STUDENT EXPERIENCE

This study aims to describe the understanding of geography literacy and student experience with landscape recognition observations using an ethnometodology perspective. The subject of this study was the chairman of each landscape recognition practice group student geography education program from University of Jember. The results of this study that geography literacy has a dimension of relevance to geographic skills in representing contextual phenomena and places from landscape recognition observation activities. The results of both observational studies provide research experience, motivation, critical and scientific thinking skills for students represented in the mapping of the area.

Senior Colleague

In this article, two Black women scholars in higher education share a conversation with our distinguished senior colleague, Yvonna Lincoln, a pioneering scholar of qualitative research methodology about what we have learned from her, and more specifically, how this research paradigm has been used to advance racial equity and social justice in higher education. The readers will learn, through her lens, about issues that emerged over the years and what she envisions for the future of higher education and qualitative research. This article presents implications for higher education, including faculty, students, and administrators working in higher education institutions.

Special Issue

The purposes of this article are to introduce a special issue of Qualitative Inquiry focusing on “Racisms in Qualitative Inquiry” and to make obvious the institutionalized perspectives and practices of racism that are embedded in the conceptualizations and doings of qualitative research. The articles address unexamined purposes, direct practices, and methodologies of research like coding and biases in representation, along with rethinking and reconceptualizing research though knowledges like Black Studies (and other Ethnic Studies generally) and the use of methodologies that have been ignored and excluded like pláticas. The final articles discuss those hidden relational and policy complexities in higher education as the predominant location for the practice and rewarding of qualitative inquiry.

Working Together

AbstractThe practice of educating students in college-level science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) subjects is influenced by many factors, including education research, governmental and school policies, financial considerations, technology limitations, and acceptance of innovations by faculty and students. Working together, stakeholders in STEM higher education must find creative ways to address the increasing need for a diverse US workforce with a strong STEM background (President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology 2012) and the need for a more STEM-literate general population (National Research Council 2012).

En este artículo se trata de situar una cierta genealogía de algunos de los movimientos que se vinculan en torno a la denominada perspectiva post-cualitativa en investigación. Estos movimientos han ido surgiendo como respuesta a los intentos, desde la década de los años 90 del pasado siglo, de positivizar, disciplinar y objetivar la investigación cualitativa bajo estándares y rúbricas que fijan los caminos a seguir tanto en la formación de investigadores como en la conceptualización y la práctica de la investigación. Esta tendencia, en el caso de Estados Unidos, que es donde está adquiriendo una mayor relevancia, queda reafirmada cuando en 2002 el NationalResearch Council publica un documento en el que se establece cómo ha de ser la investigación científica en educación: replicable, generalizable, empírica y preferentemente experimental. Decisión que forma parte de una gobernabilidad neoli beral que pretende establecer una visión unificada respecto a lo que ha de ser la realidad y el papel que la investigación ha de jugar en este propósito. Este movimiento, que se nutre de diferentes referentesy que se proyecta en varias direcciones cuestiona con argumentos la fundamentación onto-espistemológica-metodológica y ética que rige este intento normativizador, al tiempo que rehúye la explicitación de modos de hacer investigación que predetermine los sentidos abiertos e imprevisibles de todo proceso de indagación y plantea otras maneras de conceptualizar lo que un proceso de investigación puede llegar a ser. This article aims to establish the genealogy of the strands that are linked to the so-called post-qualitative approach in research. These strands have emerged as a response to the attempts, since the 1990s, to positivize and objectify qualitative research by applying to it standards and rubrics which seek to define researcher training and the conceptualization and practice of research. This tendency, in the case of the United States where it is acquiring great relevance, is reaffirmed in 2002 when the National Research Council publishes a document that establishes how scientific research in education should be: replicable, generalizable, empirical and preferably experimental. This decision is part of a neoliberal form of governance that seeks to establish a unified vision of what reality should be and the role that research should have in this reality. The post-qualitative approach, which feeds on differentreferents and projects itself in various directions, questions the onto-espistemological-methodological and ethical foundations that drive this normative attempt, at the same time as it avoids ways of doing research that predetermine the open and unpredictable meanings to which processes of inquiry can lead. In doing so, this study proposes other ways of conceptualizing what a research process may become.
