“…For the study as a whole a broad range of issues were investigated, including interviewees' attitudes towards language, knowledge and issues of diversity (Leibowitz, Booi et al, 2005;Leibowitz, Adendorff et al, 2005). For this component of the larger study the focus was on the resources lecturers and students mentioned in relation to success at university.…”

The study presents a framework for investigating the powerful resources within learners' educational biographies, which, from their own accounts, appear to influence their engagement with teaching and learning practices. The research framework stresses the material, social and cultural influences on a learner's biography and the need for recognition as well as the redistribution of resources. It assumes that both socio-cultural influences as well as individual, affective and agentic phenomena play a role in shaping a student's career. This framework is discussed in relation to a study undertaken at a South African university, at which 164 students, lecturers and academic support staff participated in semi-structured interviews. The main focus of the interview was the individual's educational biography as narrated by the individual. The findings support the socio-cultural perspective and show that the relationship between identity, identification and feeling 'at home' with engagement in deep teaching and learning, is both complex and uneven.

W artykule autorka podejmuje próbę spojrzenia na etap edukacji szkolnej oczami młodych Malgaszy. W tym celu prezentuje wyniki wstępnych badań biograficznych, osadzonych w nurcie metodologii indygenicznej, przeprowadzonych wśród malgaskich maturzystów w dwóch wybranych liceach na Madagaskarze. Uczniowie zostali poproszeni o napisanie esejów na temat historii ich edukacji. Z esejów biograficznych młodych Malgaszy wyłania się wspólna narracja zogniskowana wokół trzech etapów edukacji – szkoły podstawowej, gimnazjum i liceum. W narracjach młodzieży, obok trudnych doświadczeń związanych z edukacją i życiem rodzinnym, jako szczególnie trudny ukazywany jest okres dojrzewania przypadający zazwyczaj na okres nauki w gimnazjum.
