Researching Education from the Inside focuses on research projects
that are undertaken by people who already have an attachment to the
institutions or social groups on which their investigations are
based. They can, therefore, be considered to be insiders'. In some
cases their insider positioning is primarily important because it
gets them access to the particular people and/or the phenomena that
they want to investigate. At other times, however, aspects of their
own insidership' will, in itself, come under scrutiny.
Insider researchers need to consider five distinct stages that
can lead to ethical dilemmas, namely: Entering the field, Being in
the field, Leaving the field, Writing, and Disseminating the
results. This book covers these stages whist considering important
issues such as:
- Access,
- Choice of research methods,
- Field relationships,
- Involvement of informants,
- Confidentiality and anonymity,
- Interpretation of findings including validity and
reliability.
Failure to properly consider these key factors can lead to
disastrous consequences for any research but it can be a special
problem for insider investigators. These vital issues are discussed
by an impressive range of contributors in this ground-breaking
book, making it an invaluable resource for anyone participating in
Insider Research.
