Meta-ethnography Potentials and challenges

The characteristic backgrounds and potentials of meta-ethnography*: Ethnographically based cross-case analyses and discourse analytical strategies covering the political macro-, the institutional meso-, and the educational (teaching-practical) micro-level.

Presentation by Dennis Beach (GU,SE) with references to cross-case analyses, focus: Swedish teacher education (primarily at the policy level*) and Karen Borgnakke (KU-HUM) (ref. For cross-case analyses 1980-2020 primarily at the meso- and micro-level, focus: teacher functions/ didactic professionalism*).

Plenary discussion and coffee/ the table merge: Ethnographically based cross-case analytical potentials for ongoing research projects. 

Meta-ethnography and meta-analyses integrated into ongoing projects and their changing optics such as:

SMILE project patient / citizen orientation (Health Literacy Lars Kayser, KU-SUND).

Cattle Crossroads, educational projects related to the green transition agenda. Researching Danish livestock for the future (Camilla Kirketerp, KU-HUM).

Green Transition in Lower Secondary Education - (Nikolaj Elf, SDU). The project is funded by the Danish Independent Research Fund (DFF’s).

Plenary discussion (water/fruit)

Ethnographic field research, cross case analyses and results as a basis for raising the discussion on formation (/ literacy) and as a basis for critical curriculum development.

We will invite short projects-præsentation from other participants, like 5.min in the plenary discussion.
