Review and Q&A

What does it mean to be a "Culturally Proficient" Teacher-Action Researcher?

How does your Positionality Bias Your Epistemology?

Project Implicit Study

Perspective, Bias, and Reflexivity

Project Implicit is a non-profit organization and international collaboration between researchers who are interested in implicit social cognition - thoughts and feelings outside of conscious awareness and control. The goal of the organization is to educate the public about implicit social cognition and to provide a “virtual laboratory” – a novel way for researchers to collect data on the Internet.

For more information about the Project Implicit research group, see https://www.projectimplicit.net.

Perspective: refers to the context which influences what a person can see and how they interpret it.

Bias: unlike perspective and positionality, is to be eliminated. Bias is a skewed view that is presented in such a way that the audience for the research is not in a position to allow for it. There are various ways of skewing the research, for instance, by looking only for confirming evidence and overlooking or ignoring disconfirming evidence; or by reporting only some of the results and suppressing others.

Self-Study and Action Research

Reflexivity: it is an explict self-consciousness about the researcher’s, or research team’s and/or the research funder’s social, political and value positions in relation to how these might have influenced the design, execution and interpretation of the theory, data and conclusions

  • How does Mark's cultural identity influence his AR topic, design, and data interpretation?

What is Positionality?

In cultural accounts of experience, positionality refers to both the fact of and the specific conditions of a given social situation. So, where one might talk about the “position” of an individual in a social structure, “positionality” draws attention to the conditions under which such a position arises, the factors that stabilize that position, and the particular implications of that position with reference to the forces that maintain it.
