A meta-ethnography of two studies on interactions in schools: reflections on the process of translation

Abstract: This paper reflects upon our experience gained from engagement in a meta-ethnography of two studies on interactions between teachers and students in schools situated in England and Germany. Starting with a short overview of Noblit and Hare's (1998) conceptualisation of the method, the paper outlines the meta-ethnography we undertook especially focussing on the process of translation. We present the findings of our study which show teachers' understanding of the pastoral aspect of their role as incompatible wit… Show more

“…Since conducting our systematic review in 2015 to 2016 further relevant publications have been published. For instance, they include adapting meta-ethnography for synthesising qualitative evidence syntheses (‘mega-ethnography’) [73]; for analysing multiple primary qualitative datasets [74], and for synthesising ethnographies while they were still being conducted [75]. Urrieta and Noblit’s new edited book [72] focuses on the relation of meta-ethnography and theory with identity theory.…”

“…Education tends towards synthesis of a small number of rich ethnographies and the identification of metaphors (e.g. [59, 75]), whereas health science tends to synthesise concepts and themes from large numbers of journal articles reporting interview studies [10]. Meta-ethnography is still evolving, in health and other disciplines, and future research by our team will seek to incorporate these newer publications, not all of which can be covered here, into future guidance on meta-ethnography conduct and reporting.…”

“…The current study adopted Noblit and Hare's (1988) meta-ethnography as its methodology. Meta-ethnography originates from educational research and has become a common approach to synthesising health research (Kakos and Fritzsche, 2017;Toye et al, 2014). Meta-ethnography develops conceptual insights, models and theories through repeated syntheses of key concepts and metaphors in qualitative studies (Atkins et al, 2008;France et al, 2019;Noblit and Hare, 1988).…”

“…Meta-ethnography does not aim to exhaust the entire knowledge/ literature available or to make statistical inference; its focus is to establish conceptual insights through interpretation (Toye et al, 2014). The quality of findings in meta-ethnography depends largely on the interpretations of the chosen texts (France et al, 2019), such that a meta-ethnography involving only two qualitative studies can still achieve meaningful outcomes (Kakos and Fritzsche, 2017). To build rigour, synthesis in meta-ethnography often involves multiple levels of…”

“…And they are also brought about in part through the assemblage of a wide range of people performing a variety of roles and/or tasks. Teachers, for example, are invariably enrolled in non‐academic pastoral duties that are not always commensurable with their own constructions of themselves as professional educators, as discussed in the cross‐national meta‐ethnography of Kakos and Fritzsche (2017). Some schools, universities and other institutions with an educational remit are founded by and/or align themselves, in terms of curriculum as well as ethos, to religious institutions [EDU‐REL].…”
