| Abstract Title: | The influence of theoretical frameworks on researchers' attitudes towards students |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | Education research is highly value laden. [1] This session focuses on the issue of respect for the subjects of research, for instance students. Theoretical frameworks in education can influence which data is collected and analyzed, as well as how that data is interpreted. We assert that both theories and methods in education research entail a variety of values, and hence attitudes toward students. We will ask: how do theoretical frameworks in PER align with our morals and personal values? And, how might morals and personal values influence our choice of theoretical framework? The presenters will illuminate and confront the relationship between their personal values and research, particularly attitudes toward and treatment of students. 1.
