Researching online supervision: The need for a âtornâ methodology
Online supervision and the use of digital media in supervisory dialogues is a fast increasing practice in higher education today. However, the concepts in our pedagogical repertoire often reflect the digital tools used for supervision purposes as either a prolongation of the face-to-face contact, or a poor substitution of such. This one-sidedness on the conceptual level makes it challenging to empirically study the deeper implications digital tools have for the supervisory dialogue. Drawing on phenomenology and systems theory we argue that we need new concepts in qualitative methodology that allow us to research the digital tools on their own premises as autonomous things in themselves, possessing an ontological creativity of their own. In order for qualitative research to match the ontological nature of digital tools we conclude the article by formulating three criteria of a âtornâ methodology that makes room for new approaches to researching online supervision at the university
Fra løsninger til nye spørgsmül. Kandidatspecialet som forskningsfelt
I denne artikel argumenterer vi for, at der er et behov for flere og varierede metoder og tilgange indenfor universitetspĂŚdagogisk forskning i kandidatspecialer. Ănsket er at udvide forskningsfeltet, sĂĽ der kommer et supplement til den overvejende problemorienterede og pragmatiske tilgang, som dominerer pĂĽ feltet i dag. Vi forsøger at optegne feltets allerede<br />eksisterende tilgange til forskning i kandidatspecialet samt at udpege, hvorledes andre tilgange kan vĂŚre givende som supplement til feltet. Vores sigte er at pĂĽpege vigtigheden af, at<br />specialet ikke blot ses som noget, man gør, eller noget, man ved noget om, men i høj grad ogsĂĽ har at gøre med noget, man er eller bliver til
