“…It means the impact/influence of the research process on the researcher and vice versa. 20 During the fieldwork, the main researcher, in addition to assuming her prejudice and bias, took into account the historic process and her concepts and values. This perspective of self-awareness allowed her to clean the interpretative lent considering the purpose of the investigation.…”

Processo de trabalho e produção do cuidado em um serviço de saúde indígena no BrasilProceso de trabajo y producción de la atención en una institución brasileña de salud indígena AbstrActObjective: To understand the constitutive elements of the work process and care production in an Indigenous Health Support Service. Methods: Case study. Systematic observation and semi-structured interviews were conducted in January and February of 2012. The participants were 10 nursing professionals of an Indigenous Health Support Center, located in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. The work process was used as a conceptual and analytical category. Results: Through interpretative analysis, the data were organized into three categories. The results showed that care production was focused on procedures and guided by rigid institutional rules and bureaucracy. The prioritization of institutional rules and procedures was detrimental to the provision of person-centered care. Conclusion: The temporary employment contracts and rigid bureaucratic organization generated a tense work environment. These aspects do not maximize the efforts of the nursing staff to provide person-centered care. resumen Objetivo: Comprender los elementos constitutivos del proceso de trabajo y la producción de la atención en una institución de apoyo a la salud indígena. Métodos: Estudio de caso realizado en una casa de apoyo de salud indígena, en Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Fueron realizadas entrevistas semiestructuradas y la observación sistemática con 10 profesionales de enfermería. Se realizó el análisis temático, utilizando el proceso de trabajo como referencial teórico. Resultados: Emergieron tres categorías: la atención se centra en procedimientos técnicos y es guiada por burocracia y normas institucionales; hay una priorización de las normas; y procedimientos institucionales a expensas de la atención centrada en el sujeto. Conclusiones: El contrato de trabajo temporal y la organización burocrática producen un ambiente tenso en el trabajo, lo que no potencializa los esfuerzos del personal de enfermería en prestar una atención centrada al indígena.

“…However, few literacy researchers within North America appear to have taken up this theoretical orientation. Research from other fields suggests that an ethnomethodological orientation may be productive for illustrating how identities and phenomena are understood in locally relevant ways (see Emmerich, 2013;Stokoe, 2006;Whittle and Wilson, 2015). Further research has also suggested that the findings of such analyses can be used to create professional learning experiences whereby practitioners may reflect on the effects of their communication choices (Esmonde et al, 2010;Finlay et al, 2011;Stokoe, 2011).…”

Reading aloud to children is a ubiquitous practice in early childhood settings. While there are many recommendations for how educators should conduct these experiences, little research in the past decade has examined how read-alouds are actually accomplished. Using anthropological and sociological theories of learning, literacy and research, our analysis illustrates how read-alouds are enacted in three kindergarten classrooms. Our analysis highlights similarities and differences in how these phenomena are produced and raises questions about the consequences current ideologies of literacy learning may have for young children’s understandings of reading and of themselves as readers. Differences amongst the research sites are discussed in light of Cummins’ continuum of coercive and transformational curricula.

“…Equally, considering the way in which it is pursued by philosophers and bioethicists, it is clear that reasoning about ethics is its own activity; it is a practice, one that can be done with more or less skill or expertise 4. While healthcare professionals may not approach such practices in the same way as expert bioethicists, and arguable do so in accordance with their own (ethno)methodologies,11 it is important to properly recognise the relationship between the pursuit of ethics in the clinic, in professional domains more generally and in the academy.…”

Where the ethical action also is: a response to Hardman and Hutchinson

In Where the ethical action is, Hardman and Hutchinson make some interesting and compelling points about the way in which ‘the ethical’—various values and various kinds of values—are embedded in everyday life, including the everyday life one finds in clinical interactions, understood as scientific or scientifically informed activities. However, even when one considers ‘the ethical’ from within the horizon of understanding adopted in their essay, they neglect several important features of healthcare and medical education. In this rejoinder, I argue that a fuller understanding would go some way to indicating the complexity of ethics and ‘ethical action’ in the clinic, as well as the nature of and need for ‘expert’ analysis and philosophical reflection on the ethical questions that modern healthcare continues to engender.
