Encountering Obligation in Qualitative Educational Research: A Postmodern Perspective.
Smits, Hans; Friesen, David; Hicks, Nancy; Leroy, Carol
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v43 n4 p192-206 Win 1997
Stories about qualitative educational research situations point out moral dilemmas related to the meaning and shape of researcher obligation: questions that go beyond research codes of ethics. A postmodern-hermeneutic reading of the stories suggests three themes: the intersubjective and lived aspect of qualitative research, the irreducibility of particular lives, and the nature of responsibility. Contains 24 references. (Author/SV)
