“…Consequentially, it was necessary for the interviewer to bolster Chloé's belief in the trustworthiness of her answers by recognising shared understandings of another teacher's common experience. The unique responses within this interview context required deviations from the semi-structured interview guide representative of the "therapeutic value" (Elliot & Bonsall, 2018) that might result from the interviewer-interviewee research relationship. Further comparison of Jaxon and Chloé's transcripts did not indicate experiences to highlight gender bias or inequity.…”

Explicating interview approaches is significant for education research in understanding how the nuances of meaning from personal narratives uncover challenges and opportunities for investigating the lived experience across contexts. This paper considers interview approaches that focus on the reflexivity and meaning-making possible over a longitudinal timeframe for researcher and interviewee. Two methodological frameworks enabled a narrative oral history interview and a phenomenological lifeworld interview to establish variation in individual meaning-making, whilst eliciting understandings of shared social phenomena. We elucidate examples shared from the experience of teachers deemed as expert and interrogate the deliberations taken throughout a three-interview process. Reflexivity and the researcher's attendance to language, timing and open-ended prompting are some techniques considered for clarifying meaning in a small-scale Australian study. We argue that interrogating interview approaches for accessing deeper meaning-making of teacher professional learning further develops our understanding of interviewer-interviewee dynamics and the application of analytical frames.

“…From a relational social constructionist perspective, Corlett encouraged participants and researchers to be aware of “striking” moments that can elicit self-reflexivity and learning during research to optimize the benefits of participation. Within this and other qualitative studies designed to take participants through a process of critical self-reflection and offer feedback about their experiences, new states of being are possible within fluid and genuine researcher–participant relationships (Elliot & Bonsall, 2018; Newton, 2016; Probst, 2016).…”

Healthcare Providers’ Experiences as Arts-Based Research Participants: “I Created My Story About Disability and Difference, Now What?”

et al. 2019

Little is known about the experiences of healthcare providers as research participants in qualitative studies employing methods that encourage disclosure of their own disabilities. In this paper, we describe the experiences and implications of creating personal stories of disability and difference for healthcare provider participants in an arts-based study. The study design is a supplementary secondary analysis of a subset of data from a larger study focused on transforming negative concepts of disability and difference entitled, Mobilizing New Meanings of Disability and Difference: Using Arts-Based Approaches to Advance Healthcare Inclusion for Women with Disabilities. This supplementary study explores the experiences and perspectives of 17 healthcare provider participants who completed semi-structured interviews following creation of a multi-media story about their experience of disability or difference. Using creative non-fiction methods, two narrative streams are identified about healthcare provider experiences and the impacts of participating. The first addresses shared positive experiences about the research. The second entails more ambivalent reflections on their involvement as participants. The tension between the two experiences generates considerations to forward a mutually beneficial alliance to disrupt ableist understandings in healthcare and reveals new meanings of disability that are agential and integral to the stories and storytellers themselves.

Positionality in Public Service Interpreting Research

Research on public service interpreting employs a number of methods to examine a range of variables, from specific linguistic and paralinguistic variables to spatial positioning, agency, and ethics. These methods, however, require explicit recognition of the researcher’s positionality in order to ensure appropriate data analysis and interpretation of results. This article examines the unique aspects of the interpreting studies research that requires reflection when conducting work in this area. Two specific types of bias, namely social desirability bias and the Hawthorne effect, are discussed in detail to illustrate the type of reflective practice required to ensure valid, reliable, and credible results. The article concludes with a brief reflection on how positionality may be a starting point for discussion surrounding the agency of the researcher.Resumen: La investigación en interpretación en los servicios públicos utiliza varios métodos para examinar distintas variables, entre las cuales se incluyen elementos lingüísticos y paralingüísticos, el posicionamiento espacial, la agencia y la ética. No obstante, dichos métodos requieren un reconocimiento explícito de la posicionalidad del investigador para asegurar el adecuado análisis de los datos y una interpretación apropiada de los resultados. Este artículo examina los aspectos particulares de la investigación dedicada a los estudios de la interpretación que requieren reflexión al investigar en este campo. En concreto, se tratan dos tipos de sesgos —el sesgo de deseabilidad social y el efecto Hawthorne— para ilustrar la clase de práctica reflexiva que se requiere para posibilitar resultados fiables y válidos. Se concluye con un comentario sobre cómo la posicionalidad puede constituir un punto de partida para discutir la agencia del investigador/a.
