How is research into research mentors’ lived experience enabled by technology? BERA 2008 Sarah Fletcher University of Hertfordshire sjfmentor@yahoo.com http://www.TeacherResearch.net
The aims of this presentation are: • to explore the kinds of technology used by a research mentor and her mentees over 7 years. • to explore the impact technology has had on the transactional nature of their discourse. • to consider how technology has influenced the continuing professional development of the research mentor and her mentees.
Let’s begin with some questions… • How is voice recognition software influencing our hermeneutic phenomenological research? • How do we use archived video footage to understand how we might improve research mentoring? • How are KEEP Toolkit templates influencing elicitation, representation and dissemination of educational knowledge by mentor and mentees?
