1. First: A Work in Progress: submitting a 1,000 word position
statement in which you declare an epistemological stance, and
draw connections between your position and ideas presented in
course readings and class discussions.
these are the ideas from the whole class, + add some more about
the important of validity and inquiry in research.
Also, declare an epistemological stance as a pragmatism and

Reflection 1:
Education research is defined as the scientific study field that
evaluates education and the process of learning as well as the
human attributes, interactions, institutions and organizations
that determine educational results. Researchers in this field of
study aims at describing, understanding and explaining the
manner in which learning happens throughout the life of an
individual as well as how the formal and informal circumstances
affect every form of learning.
As a doctoral student and a future researcher, this class helps
me to understand and look beyond the information that I'm
looking for. To understand the difference between a theory and
facts .to be a researcher in the field of education you have to
understand what educational prospect you have to follow, the
present education, or what the future education will be. The
idea of being a research for me is to add a new thing to the
educational history, to find something that is missing or not
covered the way it should be covered. As a special education
doctoral student, and as a student in the epistemology class, I
understand that my field is not that easy to research about
because in many cases the environment and other factors may
affect my results or it could change during the time.

2. The human science and the educational field is related
to the human part and what the situation around the study topic
or what the society may reflect on about the topic. In Saudi
Arabia, if we talked about special education, most of the time
we couldn’t find a clear answer for our researchers because of
the society or the families and what they needed or understood,
which lead us to the most important thing. For me what I needed
the most is for the society to understand why we are researching
and why we are looking for an answer or new innovation in the
educational field.
The time is changing and the traditional way of learning is no
longer effective, we need to create new ways to make the new
generation learn and think. As a mission for the educational
researcher, we should be open to other ideas, to look behind the
facts, to read and learn more, this is the way to open up on the
theory of learning and how to encourage ourselves to look more
and discover new things for the future.
Reflection2:
The last couple of classes include to my knowledge a lot, and
how to be an outstanding educator. From my point of view, the
last classes were talking about the history of race and feminism.
This history is what we are going to know and gets what we
found it helpful in our days. Moreover, shift the negative effort
that been an issue at that time. Race, gender in education from
my understanding doesn’t matter; what really matter is
obtaining the quality of what the person or educator or scholar
gives to the field. The world is changing but sometimes the
culture and background can affects or thinking; because of the
things that we raise to know or we persuade it of our elder
society members.
Also, I felt proud in the feminist presentation of what my
country becomes in the academic field. I am proud how my
country is trying to become a country with outstanding members
who belong to that country. This presentation comes along with

3. our 88th national day which makes me proud to represent Saudi
Arabia. What surprises me is that every country they had the
same stereotype of female education and learning and how they
change their perspective regard this matter. The traditional
thinking was constructive at their time, but in our lifetime it’s
something not acceptable; it is no difference between gender or
race or background, it’s what the individual gives to the world.
Science or humanity or any other filed are important to the
future generation. All these fields are part of the ordinary life or
the future life. As an educator, I believe that without all these
fields and researches to get something new for the future. We
should develop the future without placing our attention on
which field is important to the humanity. All of us are working
for a worthier life and that what we should focus on. We can’t
change other people’s attitudes to the others but we can
establish some critical effect for the future.
Reflection3:
From my understanding, I believe that the last two weeks topics
are related, everything happens in the postmodernism is
somehow related to post-colonialism. All of these days
changes happen because of some movements that happened in
the past just to devote us the life that we are living it right
now. What we get from postmodernism is something between
the stories that happened in the past and
the history that we want to be proud
of shame of. That improves the way that we look and think
about today’s world.
Traditions keep us related to the past, but it’s not supposed to
keep us away from the future. Post-colonialism indicates us the
political effect on what the world is trying to do to end the
decolonization era. And how
that affect the countries that were under the decolonization from
different prospective; like the language and
the culture thoughts. All these effects become a part of
that country daily life and enhance their current culture. Which

4. from my point of view could mix the historical traditions with
the decolonization tradition which could makes the recent
generation don’t understand any old culture thoughts.
Postmodernism represent a creative way
to see and interact with the world or to be specific with the
academic field. Students and learners can interact with each
other, or with the new learning
experience. Students can learn from the others and also in more
self-creation
methods. Teachers and learners trying discovering an unfamiliar
way to explore things and gain the knowledge that
they obtain to get. Adolescent children can be more affective
with the Postmodernism method in the academic
field. It gives them the unusual way
to explore and learn. Postmodernism changes the way the
educational guide and rules,
which requires the teachers a researcher to know how
to interact with their student in unusual learning
set. It improves all the educational part to know and explore
more.
Reflection 4:
The academic system
supposed to encourage the students to reveal their identity and
learn how to be proud of themselves. As an as an individual;
I need representing myself, represent my values and show
the world who I am. Indigenous does not mean I’m nothing,
or I have to be treated individually. Indigenous doesn’t
mean I’m a minority. I might be from a majority, but not in
this place; however big or small
the place I represent myself. Thinking back about Indigenous
presentation prompts me of the teacher and teaching
values. And how I
should assess and treat my students without taking in what
they are, or which part of the religion they came from.

5. What I found it related to me during the ecological
class, how we relay in the environment all
the time. How people interact with
their natural and how our natural affects the way we think,
the way we act and the way we respond. My environment is
aggressive, not a green light environment; maybe because of
that, I’m presenting myself through
this natural. I’m presenting myself as a capable woman that
can handle the distance between my home and me.
Learning is always a great thing
and always we can find something in our environment related to
us somehow.
Last but not least, we as researcher, educator, and part of the
academic and learning system supposed to know there is no
ideal
place. Life doesn’t come the way that we want. In addition, we s
hould believe in diversity. So we can accept our students the
way they are, not modifying them according to our thoughts or
the way that we know. Maybe we are wrong from
the beginning, maybe they are the right and all
our values doesn’t mean anything. But everyone
must imitate and respect what we believe, we should consider th
at for others also.
Reflection 5:
For me what I got from this experience, I learned that I should
be more careful with my choices especially when talking to
other people. People are entirely different and have different
feelings, thoughts, and understanding of the language, whether
written or oral. As a researcher, I have been able to spend time
with people and understood them well to a point I can write so
much about them. If someone was given a chance to write about
you, how would you want to be described? How would you want
me to define you? And what would you want me to write about
you? These questions must be in mind any researcher before he
starts writing anybody.

6. The fact is that, no one wants to be misunderstood, this idea
was got from various representatives. The researchers working
in this field are required to fully understand the perspective of
the author, to provide an accurate representation of the same.
Language, therefore, plays the role of a constitutive force
responsible for creating reality. Note well, most writers today
have emphasized the use of scientific conventions in writing
and have managed to identify the lack of style in such tales as a
rhetorical device. I used to be an Arabic writer, and for sure, I
never want anybody to write any false information about me
without them even knowing anything about my thoughts.
Researchers need not be so much away from knowing other
people thoughts before writing about them. The reason as to
why people research, is to be able to put other people's words in
our own words. But keep in mind how other people can read and
understand these words. Statements always have two sides of
the story, and people's interpretation might not be different
from the way you want them to understand.
