Discuss Readings

Some questions/issues to consider while discussing the readings:

Yesterday we continued discussing the topic of 'understanding', last night's 1st reading followed this line of inquiry but also described learning and understanding in less formal settings than what we've discussed in the past--discuss different types of learning and understanding and how the author learned from his family and schooling.

What is educational research? Why do we do it? Is it worthwhile?

How do we better align educational research and practice?

List 5-10 ethical issues that must be considered when conducting educational research?

Yesterday in group discussion the issue of ethics came up--specifically in the context of someone pointing out that essentially data can be manipulated to tell a different story depending on who is doing the story telling? Is this a good/bad thing? Why?
