“…Like all social roles, roles in the family are ultimately a question of dynamic relations between people. When certain duties or rights are added or withdrawn from a member of the family the power structure is changed, and this may mean that their role in the family may also alter (see, for instance, Turner, 1990Turner, , 2001). …”

Studies of transnational families, in which members of the family live in different countries, have mostly focused on families who live apart as a result of economic globalization. However, transnational family life is not only a consequence of the global division of labor but also a consequence of increasing refugee flows. This explorative study is based on interviews with couples in three transnational Somali families, in which different family members either live in their destination country, Sweden, or the transit country, Kenya. The study shows that the geographical distance between the Somali couples has led to a new division of power and duties. The men have less control over the family's economic and social resources, which has allowed the women to exert greater informal power. These changes cannot, however, be seen as permanent changes. The women interviewed worry about how their new life and lifestyle will work out when the family is finally reunited.

“…Aulls and Ibrahim (2012) elaborated numerous roles within inquiry; however, they did not focus on the diversification process within inquiry. Thornton and Nardi (1975), Yellin (1999), andTurner (2002) discussed the process of role acquisition but not in the context of inquiry teaching and learning environments, and none referred to a process of role diversification. The proposed framework examined the overlap and connections between role theory and inquiry theory and provided a foundational guideline for further research into the process of diversification.…”

“…Although outlining discrepancies, Biddle summarized how most role theorists assume that the primary force in determining roles arises from social expectations formed through experience and awareness of the expectations for particular roles (Merton, 1957b;Turner, 2002). Examining the history of role theory from its beginnings offers insights into the evolution of roles over time and can help inform new models related to roles and role theory.…”

“…Examining the history of role theory from its beginnings offers insights into the evolution of roles over time and can help inform new models related to roles and role theory. Turner (2002), who also wrote about roles earlier (1978), defined a role as a "cluster of behaviors and attitudes that are thought to belong together, so that an individual is viewed as acting consistently when performing the various components of a single role and inconsistently when failing to do so" (p. 233). Turner further described how a person adopts the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors accompanying a role, and social interaction can facilitate this process and ultimately affect personality formation.…”

Inquiry-based teaching and learning are rooted in social constructivism and are central to curricular reform. Role theory and social constructivism provided insight into a commonly observed but insufficiently understood phenomenon in inquiry. Within inquiry, role shifts have been described as the switching of roles between students and teachers; however, the process may be better conceptualized as role diversification because students and teachers may undertake multiple roles simultaneously in inquiry. This article expands on existing research and proposes a framework potentially applicable to both learners and teachers, but here focused on learners. Beyond exploration, engagement, and stabilization of roles, diversification was added and described. This framework expanded on current education theory, adding new insight to a minimally explored topic, with implications for students, teachers, consultants, and researchers.

“…A funkcionalista szerepmodell azt feltételezi, hogy az egyén elfogadja az előre meghatározott szerepeket és a pozitív visszacsatolás érdekében követi a szervezeti normákat. Nem törekszik azok megváltoztatására (R. H. Turner, 2001;Kováts, 2013).…”
