The literature on qualitative research ethics is vast and longstanding. Many scholars have written autoethnographic accounts and methodological overviews of the ways that they navigate ethics in practice. Despite various definitions and categorizations of research ethics, to date, in relatively few empirical investigations it has been outlined how...
This article examines the role of memory and remembering in qualitative research, proposing a reflective practice where memories serve not only as a backdrop but as active participants in shaping inquiry. By revisiting and engaging in remembering, we, as qualitative inquirers, forge deeper connections with subjects, encompassing the human, the natu...
Qualitative researchers often take for granted that the process of translation involves finding in the target language an equivalent linguistic expression to the one used in the source language. The validity of translation in qualitative research is thus based on the equivalence between the original and the translated texts, and correspondingly, un...
This paper aims at conceptualizing research ethics in qualitative research with Buddhist teachings. As a Buddhist, I first introduce how Buddhism came to be central in my life and eventually influenced me as a qualitative researcher. I exemplify how the concepts of all-beings-are-equal, karma, the five precepts, and repentance might inspire a quali...
This paper responds to the call for examining and promoting a more diverse and equitable education environment by shedding light on an international student’s experience in U.S. higher education. Using narrative analysis, the author unfolds the participant’s proactive actions and resistant voices. The results also show the hidden “de facto” in the...
International students have been commonly overlooked when discussing race and culture in U.S. higher education contexts. Among the relatively few qualitative research studies focused on international students, language barriers and discrimination due to racial and cultural differences have been reported as major challenges for international student...
Ethical research practice remains a pertinent issue for qualitative researchers. Many scholars have recognized the insufficiency of merely relying on the ethics board review and argue for engaging with varying approaches and conceptualizations of ethics (e.g., Ellis’ conception of relational ethics or Dennis’ notion of ethics with critical perspect...
This paper re-constructs the higher education environment and experience that an international doctoral student negotiates within. Four video segments from September 2020 to April 2021, with a common theme of funding-searching, were selected as data. With narrative analysis, key components from the narratives were identified and further re-organize...
Qualitative researchers often take for granted that the process of translation is about searching for a linguistically expression in the targeted language equivalent to the original language. Combining insights from translational theories and Phil Carspecken’s critical qualitative methodology, we examined this assumption by interrogating what under...
With the aim to contribute to the ethical practice in qualitative research, this work draws upon Buddhist teachings of all-beings-are-equal and repentance, adding insights to the discussion of researcher-participant relationship and reflexivity. With a thematic analysis of the researcher’s research journal, data reveal how the teaching of all-being...
A Systematic Literature Review of the Methodological Literature on Ethics in Qualitative Research
The aim of this study was to investigate whether and how engaging with a computer-supported collaborative knowledge-building environment helps students to develop a more sophisticated approach to scientific inquiry. A total of 52 undergraduate students took a course entitled “Introduction to Natural Sciences” that was based on knowledge-building pe...
Secondary school students following a problem-based human-centered robotics (HCR) curriculum designed and built robots as a way of engaging with engineering design practices. In this preliminary analysis, we identified a shift in a focal classroom from technically to socially focused robot designs across two semesters. This poster considers how tea...
This study investigated whether engaging students in knowledge-building help them develop more informed views regarding the nature of scientific theories. Findings indicated that students' views of the nature of scientific theories became more constructivist-oriented toward the end of the semester. A relationship was also observed between students'...
In this study, we investigated prospective teacher-education students' belief change in a CSCL environment enabled by knowledge building pedagogy. Data mainly came from a belief survey and students' online discussion. The results indicated that engaging students in collaborative work with knowledge was conducive to making their teaching beliefs bec...
