The Search For Meaning In Educational Research This article explores different senses of the concept of meaning in educational research, presenting âmeaningâ as personal (the researcherâs quest for meaning through research), contextual (meaning in relation to linguistics and culture) and shared (through communication), offering illustrative examples from the literature and from her own work. http://www.rapidintellect.com/AEQweb/cho27244j.htm
Extractions: Academic Exchange Quarterly Fall 2004: Volume 8, Issue 3 The Quest for Meaning in Educational Research Deborah Court Bar- Ilan University Israel Deborah Court researches educational cultures in Israel and abroad. She teaches qualitative research methods and curriculum evaluation at Bar- Ilan University in Israel Abstract This article explores different senses of the concept of meaning in educational research, presenting meaning as personal (the researchers quest for meaning through research), contextual (meaning in relation to linguistics and culture) and shared (through communication), offering illustrative examples from the literature and from her own work. Why Do We Perform Educational Research? When I was finishing my undergraduate degree in anthropology thirty years ago, the professor of our cultural anthropology course gave us a provocative assignment for our final paper. We were supposed to ask, and attempt to answer, one of the great, unanswered questions in cultural anthropology. Flirting with youthful cynicism on the one hand, and beginning a genuine search for meaning on the other, I entitled my paper, One of the great, unanswered questions in cultural anthropology: Why are we doing this? The details of my answer are long forgotten in the dustbin of essay history, but the gist of it was an attempt to find human significance in the description and analysis of cultures. Looking back, I blush at the naive presumption that I could answer such a question, but the question itself, why are we doing this? has recurred, sometimes at a hum and sometimes at a roar, for most of my professional life.

Tuesday 20 September 2005 In the UK media today, the Guardian Education Supplement carries an article that raises attempts by the British Committee for Universities of Palestine to re-launch a campaign to boycott Israeli academic institutions. The Times notes that an Israeli government committee headed by Justice Minister Tzipi Livni has set aside one million dollars for legal assistance for senior IDF officers who are being accused abroad by human rights groups of alleged war crimes. Meanwhile, the Daily Telegraph notes that the Red Cross has created a third neutral emblem a crystal shape that seeks to resolve disputes over religious symbolism of its current red cross and red crescent logos.

Extractions: OK, I'd like to start off this post with a plea for forgiveness. If I haven't replied to the email you sent me months ago, or returned your phone call from way back, or posted to our group blog in ages, or been especially active on your advisory board mailing list lately, please accept my sincere apologies. I've spent the past couple of months in a kind of personal and professional whirlwind, which I *hope* will come to rest soon. :) I won't go now into all the reasons why I've been so busy. Let me just sum it up by saying that lots happened and some difficult decisions were made. Among the most significant outcomes: my family and I made a decision to move back to Montreal, and I'm leaving the National Research Council of Canada.

Extractions: CSI Home People Research Industry Affiliates Welcome to CSI The Communication Sciences Institute (CSI) was formed in 1982 as an organized research unit within the Department of Electrical Engineering. CSI provides an environment for faculty, students, research sponsors, and practicing engineers to interact. The primary goal of CSI is to impact engineering practice through basic research and education. To achieve this goal, we look to our research sponsors and industrial affiliates for the most challenging and relevant problems. These problems are addressed by CSI faculty and student researchers who are among the best in the world. Closely associated with CSI is the communications group within the Electrical Engineering Department. The communications group is made up of faculty who regularly teach classes and supervise research in the communications area. Thus, most CSI faculty are in the communications group. The purpose of the group is to manage coursework and student affairs for those students interested in communications. This CSI webpage covers CSI activities and serves as a portal for current and future students in the communications group.
