Researcher Positionality - A Consideration of Its Influence and
Place in Qualitative Research - A New Researcher Guide.
Masters and PhD student researchers in the social sciences are often required to explore and
explain their positionality, as, in the social world, it is recognized that their ontological and epistemological beliefs influence their research. Yet novice researchers often struggle with identifying their positionality. This paper explores researcher positionality and its influence on and place in the research process. Its purpose is to help new postgraduate researchers better understand positionality so that they may incorporate a reflexive approach to their research and start to clarify their positionality.

“The Comments Were Clear But You Don’t Understand”: Supporting Written Feedba...ijejournal
This paper reports part of a dissertation research for the award of an MA degree at a UK University. The
dissertation research investigated how Nigerian students adapted to novel pedagogic practices in a UK
University. One of such novel pedagogic practices for some of the students was the receiving of feedback
comments on coursework drafts and on summative assessments. Several studies have found that students
may not always understand the feedback comments they receive, thereby undermining its learning and
achievement potential (Chanock, 2000; Weaver, 2006; Smith & Gorard, 2005; Nicol, 2010). Reasons for
this include comments that are too vague, general, ambiguous, abstract or in unfamiliar disciplinary
discourse (Nicol, 2010). In this paper, it is argued that for feedback comments to adequately support
learning and achievement, it should be followed up by dialogue that is proactive and effective, initiated by
any of the concerned parties in an environment of trust.
The Possibilities of Transforming LearningBarry Dyck
Thesis defense slides for "The Possibilities of Transforming Learning: A Practitioner Research Study of a Pilot Alternative Learning Environment."
In this study, I examine the pilot year of an alternative learning environment in which I, as a practitioner, explored the possibilities for transforming learning for a small class of Grade 11 and 12 students. Drawing on a pedagogy of care, a constructivist model of learning and a student-centered approach to learning, the students and I negotiated new curriculum, combining regular classroom courses with courses constructed by their own learning interests. In this case study, a rhizomatic analysis of student and practitioner data, collected both during and after students’ graduation from high school, showed that students were highly engaged with learning when guided by their personal interests. In the study, I also found, however, that students struggled to fully embrace the potential of their own interests, held back by the ambiguity of self study and the clear metrics of the regular school system to which they were accustomed. As practitioner, I struggled to meet the demands of the prescribed curriculum and those of the curriculum that constantly evolved and changed according to students’ interests. The study also speaks to the tensions in defining the role of a teacher in this alternative learning environment. In conclusion, I suggest we seek to make possible an alternative high school learning environment that more closely resembles free schooling (i.e., learn what you want, where and when you want) within a public school that would, combined with a traditional course of study, meet the provincial criteria for graduation accreditation.

Not Your Grandma’s Oldsmobile: Navigating the Changing World of Adult Learning
The adult learner is becoming more paradoxical. He/she is becoming more technologically dependent, yet more ubiquitous, searching for equilibrium, yet looking for applicative answers to real world questions, attending courses with the intention of learning, yet desperately in need of being inspired. The world of learning theory has been addressing these issues, but bringing it altogether is the difficult part. So how does one create a learning environment for the 21st century ubiquitous, technology savvy learner who is desperate to be inspire and inspire others? Instructional Design Scholar, author and award winning educator, T M “Tim” Stafford will help unwrap this learning “trilemma” and help create an understanding of the evolution of learning, an understanding of epistemology and how to move towards transformative practice. This fun and engaging time together will inspire you to embrace the shifts in paradigm for the new breed of learner and a new level of instructional design.

Week 2 Instructor Guidance
As we begin Week 2, you are encouraged you review the Week 4 Unit page to prepare for when you work in a mock PLC and complete a group assignment. Start thinking now about your role and responsibilities during Week 4.
WEEKLY LEARNING OUTCOMES
Before moving any further, please take a moment to review and reflect on our learning expectations for the week; these are also listed with their alignment to each assessment for the week on the Week 2 Unit page:
· Analyze different visions including theoretical models.
· Justify the need to create and monitor a school vision.
· Compare different visions to create one vision that fits the school culture.
WEEK 2 – OVERVIEW
In Week One, we investigated leadership styles and discussed barriers that can exist in education from our style of leadership. During Week 2, we will have two discussions and an assignment. Review the detailed instructions on the Week 2 Unit page and consider the following for guidance in your performance this week.
Discussion 1: In the Justification for a New Vision discussion, each of you will review a vision statement and analyze the need for change in that statement based on all you have learned about effective vision statements thus far and discuss this important aspect of school leadership together as a class.
Discussion 2: The Comparing Vision Statements discussion provides you with an opportunity to compare and contrast two vision statements. We concentrate on identifying the key components of each vision and offering ideas on how these visions can be enhanced together as a class to reflect 21st Century Learning.
Assignment: The assignment It’s all about Presentation is your opportunity to put your technology skills to use to show what you know about the factors influencing whether a vision needs to be changed and reflect on current day teaching and learning as well.
INTELLECTUAL ELABORATIONWhat do you mean it’s NOT working?
A common thread you can hear grumbling in the hallways at the start of each year is, “Why did we have to change X when it was working so well last year?”
Being a leader, it will be your responsibility to help educate colleagues about why there is a need for change and how change is not necessarily always negative in a school setting. Often change occurs because the current methods, while they appeared to be working, were not providing the gains expected toward the determined goals for the vision. Change is a catalyst leading to reflection about challenges and successes, allowing us an opportunity to modify existing structures to improve learning and teaching.
Vision statements often get overlooked as something that needs to change frequently; often the changes each school year are focused around student achievement. However, the vision statement is the glue that binds all the change initiatives together. Without a current and achievable vision statement, schools tend to wander on a path with many side trails, distra.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
