How do I come to understand my shared living educational standards of judgement in the life I lead with others? Creating the space for
intergenerational student-led research
Abstract of PhD Submission to the University of Bath, 2008
Karen Riding.
In this account I explain the shared life that I lead with my husband Simon
transforms itself into a loving energy that emerges in our educational practice. This
loving way of being emerges as the energy that drives me to transform the social
formation of the school to work alongside student researchers in an intergenerational
and sustainable way.
These living and loving standards of judgment are shared between us, asking the
other to be the best that s/he can be and valuing the contribution that s/he makes. I
live out an inclusional way of being that extends across the professional and
personal domain, asking me to be responsive to the others with whom I share this
life.
This account attempts to explicate the emergence and significance of these
standards between those in my life.
The boundaries shared between participants on this journey are fluid and dynamic.
They are permeable, yet also recognise the limitations of certain relationships into
impermeable boundaries.
In the current debate about personalised learning within education, I see a new
language of education emerging, shared between school and student researchers
that places learning at its heart. I am supporting Schon's (1995) call for the
emergence of a new epistemology for educational knowledge with the expression
and clarification of new living standards of judgment that can contribute to enhancing
educational space.
