Introduction. Even if trust in the process of how information is made has been acknowledged as a key aspect of the credibility of information, there is little earlier research on how and if people use or want information on information making when doing credibility assessments. Method. Swedish archaeology administrators were interviewed (n=10). Analysis. Interview transcripts were analysed using close reading and an approach based on the constant comparative method. Information needs relating to work processes, methods and technologies, context and situation and non-needs (i.e. lack of need) of information on information making were identified similarly to two types of reputational and four types of non-reputational cues of how information was made. Results. Experienced information needs about information making and preferences for reputational and non-reputational cues in credibility assessments were related to individuals’ epistemic distance to the context where information making took place, and if the interviewees positioned themselves as insiders or outsiders in that particular context. Conclusion. To understand the dynamics and interaction of credibility criteria, it can be useful to look at how and what they are used to justify and what are people’s underpinning epistemic beliefs, instead of merely pointing to the differences in beliefs and enumerating situation-specific credibility criteria. People’s flexibility in switching between reputational and non-reputational cues, and positioning themselves as insiders and outsiders, could be seen as an opportunity rather than as a sign of their inferior informational competences.

Η παρούσα διατριβή πραγματεύεται τρόπους προώθησης της Συμπεριληπτικής Εκπαίδευσης στην Πρωτοβάθμια Εκπαίδευση στην Ελλάδα. Ειδικότερα προτείνει την εφαρμογή της Καθολικής Σχεδίασης για Μάθηση και της Ολικής Ποιότητας στην Εκπαίδευση ως ένα δομημένο πλαίσιο στο οποίο προάγεται η φιλοσοφία της συμπερίληψης και οι αρχές της. Η μέθοδος που ακολουθήθηκε για τη διεξαγωγή της έρευνας εντάσσεται στους κόλπους της ποιοτικής ερευνητικής μεθόδου και συγκεκριμένα της έρευνας – δράσης. Επιπρόσθετα, αξιοποιήθηκαν στοιχεία της θεμελιωμένης θεωρίας (grounded theory), στην οποία βασίστηκε η ανάλυση και επεξεργασία των δεδομένων, που έγινε μέσω της συνεχούς συγκριτικής μεθόδου (constant comparative method). Όσον αφορά στη μεθοδολογία, έγινε χρήση του photovoice, της παρατήρησης, της συνέντευξης καθώς και του αναστοχαστικού ημερολογίου. Για την επίτευξη της εμπιστευσιμότητας εφαρμόστηκε μία πληθώρα στρατηγικών, η οποία στόχευε στην αξία της αλήθειας, στη μεταφερσιμότητα, στην αληθοφάνεια και την επιβεβαιωσιμότητα. Η έρευνα διεξήχθη σε ένα ελληνικό δημόσιο δημοτικό σχολείο και συμμετέχοντές της ήταν μαθητές του σχολείου, οι γονείς τους, οι εκπαιδευτικοί των αντίστοιχων τάξεων και η διευθύντρια.Η έρευνα χωρίστηκε σε τρία στάδια, με το καθένα να προκύπτει λόγω αναγκαιότητας από το προηγούμενο. Έτσι, διαμορφώθηκε το στάδιο της αρχικής αξιολόγησης της υπάρχουσας κατάστασης στο σχολείο με στόχο τη διερεύνηση του βαθμού ανάπτυξης της συμπεριληπτικής εκπαίδευσης, το στάδιο της παρέμβασης με βάση τις αρχές των φιλοσοφιών της καθολικής σχεδίασης για μάθηση και της ολικής ποιότητας και αυτό της τελικής αξιολόγησης της παρέμβασης.Τα αποτελέσματα φανέρωσαν τη δυναμική των δύο παραπάνω φιλοσοφιών για την προώθηση της συμπεριληπτικής εκπαίδευση. Η κάθε μία ξεχωριστά αλλά και σε συνδυασμό με την άλλη οδήγησαν στην εξάλειψη φαινομένων περιθωριοποίησης των μαθητών, στην αύξηση της συμμετοχής τους στο καθημερινό μάθημα και τις σχολικές δραστηριότητες, στην υπερπήδηση των εμποδίων και στην απόδοση ισότιμων ευκαιριών προς όλους. Θετικό αντίκτυπο είχε η παρέμβαση και προς τους γονείς οι οποίοι ήρθαν πιο κοντά στο σχολείο και είδαν τις ανάγκες τους να ικανοποιούνται, όπως και προς τους εκπαιδευτικούς, που ανέπτυξαν σχέσεις συνεργασίας και είδαν την αλλαγή τόσο στους μαθητές τους όσο και στο σύνολο του σχολείου.

This paper explores 3- to 6-year-old children’s orientations to the video camera in video recordings of everyday family interactions. Children’s orientations to the video camera in these recordings were identified and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Types of orientations to the video camera included talking about the camera, engaging in camera-directed talk and/or action, and interacting with the camera. In some cases, these orientations occurred after a parent or sibling first oriented to the video camera; however, in other cases no prior orientation was evident. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.

This qualitative study was focused on exploring how in-service teachers' who were attending a three-day “Educating for Sustainability” workshop made sense of sustainability. Another goal of this study was to examine teachers' perceptions of the portrayal of the three dimensions of sustainability (environment, economy and social equity) in short movies that served as “real world” exemplars of sustainability that were freely available online through YouTube or other websites. Data was collected largely through individual semi-structured interviews, but also through questionnaires and written and drawn documentation. The findings, obtained through the constant-comparative method of coding, indicated that teachers' spontaneous descriptions of sustainability emphasized the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability, but overlooked the equity dimension of sustainability. The videos helped teachers incorporate the 3E's into their sustainability discussions when all three dimensions were addressed, but when the social equity dimension was missing, then it tended to go unnoticed.

The constant comparative method (Lincoln & Guba, 1985) was used to analyze preservice teachers’ discussions and interactions in wiki discussion sections regarding geometric lessons that were written by other preservice teachers in the year before. The data was compared for the following interaction aspects of knowledge building: dialogical actions, participants’ roles, and discussion tracks. Research shows that building their content and pedagogic content knowledge, the preservice teachers together with the lecturer used mainly proposing, asking, requesting, arguing, presenting, and moving the discussion forward as dialogical actions. Proposing and asking were used for various goals such as proposing various ideas and actions, and asking about different issues concerned with geometric content and pedagogic content knowledge. The lecturer asked questions more than the preservice teachers, while the preservice teachers proposed more than the lecturer. The knowledge building was collaborative in nature, and one important aspect which enabled the collaboration is the topology of the wiki discussion section. This topology enables presenting the content of the messages; not just the titles, where the contents are presented as having the same level and thus the same importance.

This chapter expands upon an interior monologue the author created during the experience of composing a comic strip for publication. Building on this reflection regarding the processes of composing in multimodal form and on the work of John Steiner (1997), four professional artists were interviewed using semi-structured interviews to get at the steps they take when writing multimodally. Categories of the data are uncovered and refined using the constant-comparative method. Some of these trends include: gaining knowledge through practice of a medium’s structure and affordances including the necessity of writing in nonlinear fashion and being able to write collaboratively. Implications for instruction are suggested.
