Stepping Inside: On Participant Experience and Bodily Presence in the Field.

Beekman, Ton

Journal of Education, v168 n3 p39-45 1986

Participant experience is a research method dialogically based on respect for the child. Researchers step inside the landscape of the child to share a life-form. Through an engaged body-presence they experience the atmosphere and meanings from within as they are perceived in a common horizon. (Author/LHW)
