Methodologists, Who Needs 'Em?
Fri, April 17, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Virtual RoomSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This session engages questions from quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods professors and students about whether, when, why, and how we need “methodologists” in Education. In light of recent worries that methodologists should be more than technicians and technocrats, and amid calls for methodologists to serve the public good during a time of eroding political and public trust in science and scientific inquiry, the papers in this session explore questions about the meanings, functions, and responsibilities of methodologists. Collectively, through excavating the past and critiquing the present of methodology, the presenters pursue a positive future for methodologists and methodological work in the field. Ample time for audience discussion will further ongoing conversations about the labels and roles of methodologists in Education.
