The authors adapted interview questions from a previous study by Baxter Magolda (1992) conducted at a US university. On the basis of her data, Baxter Magolda constructed an Researching the HE Context 27 epistemological reflection model consisting of four kinds of knowing (absolute, transitional, independent and contextual), differentiated according to how students perceived the role of the learner and that of peers and lecturers, their approach to assessment and the nature of knowledge. Although Lucas and Leng Tan attempted to identify how the students related to each of the five domains identified in Baxter Magolda’s model (the role of the learner, of peers and tutors, assessment and the nature of knowledge), they did not allocate them to an overall way of knowing.
In line with this, the current chapter prefaces discussion of a number of key research studies about higher education with a brief overview of Trowler’s (2012) Doing Insider Research in Universities. Writing from the perspective of an academic with privileged insight into the life of a university, derived as a result of an extensive and varied academic and management career, Trowler provides an overview of key methodological concerns as they apply specifically to studying higher education. An experienced supervisor and examiner of doctoral theses focused on insider research in universities, author of a substantial number of book-length studies on the academic context, and a former doctoral student conducting an ethnographic study of a university, Trowler opens his guide with a critical reflection on insiderness and on how it is always important to be explicit as a researcher about exactly where and how the endogenous character of one’s research potentially illuminates the issues of interest, and where it could obscure them or give rise to concerns about the robustness of the findings.
Dialogue can take the following forms: tutor-directive dialogue aimed at talking the student-writer into essayist literacy practice; tutor-directive dialogue aimed at making language visible; collaborative dialogue aimed at populating the student-writer’s text with her own intentions (after Bakhtin, 1981, pp. 293–294); talkback dialogue aimed at allowing the student-writer to say what she feels about the conventions she is writing within and to explore alternative ways of expressing meaning. To illustrate these particular forms, Lillis draws on her own pedagogic practice of discussing written work with students, as a tutor-assessor with a strong background in the subject content and a high level of awareness of the role of language in constructing preferred or alternative meaning.
