This metaphor can be applied to current research in problem-based learning (PBL). This chapter addresses the need to look inside the 'black box' of PBL by exploring two under-researched aspects-independent study and online learning. Using the Interactional Ethnographic (IE) approach to collect and analyse data in context and over time (across contexts), we systematically examined how students learn between tutorials to explore how online learning supports independent study in a PBL curriculum. Despite PBL's 40-year history as an instructional method in undergraduate education, surprisingly few studies have examined and documented the in situ enactment of student learning in PBL contexts from an interactional perspective. While there is a growing body of student evaluation and outcomes data to support the efficacy of PBL programmes, research to date has relied mainly upon student and staff questionnaires and interviews. In dentistry, for example, the majority of studies have focused on problem design, course evaluation, and student achievement or performance. From a methodological perspective, the reliance on self-report data such as student course evaluation questionnaires across clinical education and staff surveys has come under some criticism. Concerns have been expressed regarding the status quo of this research agenda with a recent call to 'look inside PBL programmes', due to a perceived lack of studies into 'the way students experience and understand' PBL courses (Prosser, 2004, p. 204). Of critical importance is the need to contribute further interactional data and analysis on PBL-inaction to support theory building. This is particularly the case given that the central, constructivist tenet of PBL is its 'process' approach

It was developed as an analytic lens and explanatory theory to show how learning, and development of identity, evolves through discourse. When used as an analytic lens in education, Positioning Theory focuses researchers on examining the in and over time construction of positioning actions of teachers and students in developing episodes for learning and participating in classrooms. As an explanatory theory, Positioning Theory serves as a set of guiding principles for investigating the consequences of the discourse and the interactions of, and with, particular students and groups of students as they assume or reject particular positions or acts of positioning. Thus, Positioning Theory frames ways of examining position-positioning relationships as dynamic and developing within and across time, events/episodes, and configurations of actors, within and across social spaces in classrooms and other social contexts. The goals of this chapter are presented in two parts. The first section presents the history and development of Positioning Theory as an explanatory theory that has evolved as it has been taken up by different disciplines to examine issues of identity within particular contexts (e.g., in social and discursive psychology, management studies, nursing, and education, among others). In the second section, we present two telling case studies (Mitchell, 1984; defined later) that make transparent 1 how Positioning Theory served as an analytic lens to guide two of the co-authors of this chapter, Harris and Baker, in (re)analyzing archived records from their original longitudinal research studies to explore position-positioning relationships. The goal of these (re)analyses was to explore how Positioning Theory made visible previously unexamined processes that framed the identity potentials and performance styles of students in each site: first grade students in literacy events in Harris' study and two first-year seniors in performing public critique in an intergenerational (Grades 9-12) high school Advanced Placement studio art program (Baker, 2001).

The review is presented in two parts. Part 1 provides an analytic review of two seminal reviews of literature that frame theoretical and methodological developments of microethnography and functions language in classrooms with diverse learners. Part 2 presents two telling case studies that illustrate the logic-of-inquiry of (ME/DA) approaches. These telling case studies make
transparent how theoretical considerations of cultural perspectives on education inform
decisions regarding research methodology. Telling Case Study 1 makes transparent the
logic-of-inquiry undertaken to illustrate how microanalyses of discourse and action among participants in a physics class provided an empirical grounding for identifying how different groups undertook a common task. This case study shows how ethnographically informed discourse analyses formed a foundation to theoretically identify social processes of knowledge construction. Telling Case Study 2 makes transparent multiple levels of analysis undertaken to examine ways that creative processes of interpretation of art were communicated and taken up in an art studio class across multiple cycles of activity. Taken together, these telling case studies provide evidence of how ME/DA provides a theoretically grounded logic-of-inquiry for investigating complex learning processes in different educational contexts.

By viewing different theoretical frameworks and methodologies as potentially complementary, Wyatt-Smith, Elkins and other authors in this volume move discussions beyond debates of which method is best, to a discussion of what different theoretical traditions contribute towards research on students' learning needs1. In this chapter, we seek to contribute towards this argument by demonstrating how multiple theoretical perspectives and methods can be included in a single research study as well as in programs of research that seek to explore common phenomena from different theoretical and methodological points of view (for example Green

This paper addresses a series of questions proposed by the editors of this special issue of Calestrocópio Journal. These questions led us to a reexamination of key arguments by Shirley B. Heath, Brian V. Street and Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt, who have influenced how ethnography can inform epistemological approaches to studying language in use in everyday settings in and out of school. In addition, we revisited the distinction between ethnography in and of education, proposed by Green and Bloome (1997), in the light of a recent reformulation focused on Anthropology in Education, of Education and for Education. This article focuses on the logic of inquiry central to understanding ethnography as epistemology. Keywords: Ethnography in and out of school; logic of inquiry; discourse; education. Resumo: A discussão sobre a relação entre etnografia, discurso e educação tem sido, nas últimas quatro décadas, uma área em desenvolvimento. Este artigo aborda um conjunto de questões que foram propostas pelos editores deste número especial da Revista Caletroscópio, que nos levou a uma reavaliação dos argumentos principais feitos por Shirley B. Heath, Brian V. Street e Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt, que têm contribuído para a compreensão de como a etnografia embasa abordagens epistemológicas para o estudo da linguagem em uso em contextos dentro e fora da escola. Além disso, revisitamos essa distinção entre etnografia dentro e fora da escola, como proposta por Green e Bloome (1997), a partir de uma reformulação recente com foco na Antropologia em Educação, da Educação e pela Educação. Este artigo baseia-se na importância da lógica de investigação para o entendimento da etnografia como epistemologia. Palavras-chave: Etnografia dentro e fora da escola; lógica de investigação; discurso; educação. When I (Judith L. Green) received the invitation from Adail Sebastião Rodrigues-Júnior and Clézio Roberto Gonçalves, the Editors-in-chief of this journal, to share my view of ethnography in and of education, I saw this as a unique opportunity to step back and to (re)think where my understanding of ethnographic research in and of education that David Bloome and I proposed in 1997 is over two decades later. In framing this as an interview, the editors provided a series of questions to guide my understanding of their goals for this interview.

The overtime analysis of one Circle Time subevent, Talking, is presented to illustrate how 3-and 4-year-old students, in their first school experience, construct with their teachers a schooled discourse repertoire for participating in large group discussions, and how the discourse demands on the teacher shifted across time in the Talking subevent as well as across all subevents.

This was made visible by two comparative studies of the way the term context is viewed across research programs both within literacy studies and across fields concerned with language in use. Lesley Rex, Judith Green and Carol Dixon (1998) conducted a review of all uses of the term context in literacy studies published in major literacy research journals-These years were reviewed to provide a profile of publications across editorial teams and to insure that work across theoretically different periods of time were covered. The 1996 journal review was to make certain that the patterns in the earlier review were present at the time of publication and in the journal in which the publications would occur. Rex et al (1998) found little consistency in how the term context was used, few attempts to operationally or theoretically define it, and little to no overlap in citations in articles. These inconsistencies were due to a range of factors such as differences in the object of study (e.g., the society, a classroom, people interacting, a printed text, and linguistic features of a text), in theoretical perspectives (e.g., linguistic, sociocultural, behaviorist, feminist, and structuralist), and in the view of the phenomena studied (e.g., literacy, reading,

poorly African-Americans were treated, but once I experienced
this whole slave ship idea, I realized how horrible it must have been for them and how they were discriminated against and I never really realized how bad it was for them and this changed my opinion … because in a lot of ways I think I had not really been around the African-American discrimination. But when I realized that this stuff was still going on, it really changed my feelings
about it.”
—Danielle, Grade 7
A year before Danielle made the above statement to a community audience at the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara, she, along with two of her sixth grade classmates, had studied in-depth issues of the Middle Passage of the slave trade. They worked with their teacher and the Center for Literacy and Inquiry in Networking Communities (LINC) (formerly known as the Center for Teaching for Social Justice [CTSJ] http://education.ucsb.edu/linc) to design and present a virtual tour to 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students of an exhibit of
artifacts from the only known wreck of a slave ship found in the western hemisphere. In and through their work, the Santa Barbara students and their teacher made this important historical resource on the Middle Passage available to Sacramento students through a live videoconference.
This article provides a narrative account of the multiple layers of work necessary for students to engage with complex issues of race. Underlying the presentation of the multiple layers involved in this multi-faceted project is an ethnographic perspective on the social construction of knowledge called Interactional Ethnography (e.g., Green, Dixon, and Zaharlick, 2003; Castanheira, Crawford, Dixon and Green, 2001). This approach, based on two decades of ethnographic research in classroom and community settings,
guided our multi-level and multi-method analysis. We draw on this
virtual interactive tour of the exhibit, A Slave Ship Speaks: The Wreck of the Henrietta Marie, as an anchor for a telling case (Mitchell, 1984) for presenting what we were able to uncover (Green, Skukauskaite, Dixon, and Cordova, 2007). Through unfolding the layers of work for both audience and docents participating in the virtual tour, we demonstrate how innovative technologies have the potential to bring new dimensions and resources to students inquiring into complex issues. We use the metaphor of an archaeological dig to frame the uncovering of the layers of work undertaken by a diverse group of actors (i.e., students, teachers, museum personnel, university educators, and technology support staff) and the multiple areas of understanding made possible through this work. Central to the presentation of this work are four inter-related principles of practice guiding the development of this educational innovation: preparing the mind and building a repertoire for action, engaging in and/or with the complex content, taking action from what is learned for self or others, and going public to share what is learned. These principles will be examined as the layers are uncovered.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Literacy Research: Second Edition

This second edition examines the relationships between current disciplinary and theoretical perspectives associated with these social and cultural perspectives shaping literacy research.
Leading literacy researchers describe how they apply particular disciplinary perspectives t their research, making explicit how those perspectives shape their research. Chapters in the first section examine the application of psychological and social science theories of research design related to issues of the validity of descriptive/qualitative versus experimental/quantitative research methods. Those in the second section examine the application of sociocultural/Activity Theory perspectives to examine literacy learning in the context of community and institutional settings. The third section draws on current linguistic and discourse analysis to examine language use and interactions in literacy events and contexts. A final section applies critical literacy and literary perspectives to issues of research on literacy and literature instruction.
These application of different disciplinary perspectives highlight how differences in theoretical perspectives influence not only how one conducts literacy research, but also the kinds of literacy practices one values in schools.

Like those at the turn of the 20th century, education researchers and their constituencies (e.g., students, teachers, community members, and policy makers) are faced with a series of questions: How are we to respond to the educational challenges of this new millennium? How do we engage with new forms of learning, the influence of new media on children’s lives, changing community dynamics, and many long-standing and tenacious educational and social problems? And how can research and theory constructively and critically engage with the demands and imperatives of government educational and social policies?
In this book, the editors bring together an intergenerational group of researchers who represent both new and long-standing perspectives and debates on the shapes, definitions, and processes of learning in the context of global cultural and economic change.

this whole slave ship idea, I realized how horrible it must have been for them and how they were discriminated against and I never really realized how bad it was for them and this changed my opinion … because in a lot of ways I think I had not really been around the African-American discrimination. But when I realized that this stuff was still going on, it really changed my feelings
about it.”
—Danielle, Grade 7
A year before Danielle made the above statement to a community audience at the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, University of California, Santa Barbara, she, along with two of her sixth grade classmates, had studied in-depth issues of the Middle Passage of the slave trade. They worked with their teacher and the Center for Literacy and Inquiry in Networking Communities (LINC) (formerly known as the Center for Teaching for Social Justice [CTSJ] http://education.ucsb.edu/linc) to design and present a virtual tour to 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students of an exhibit of
artifacts from the only known wreck of a slave ship found in the western hemisphere. In and through their work, the Santa Barbara students and their teacher made this important historical resource on the Middle Passage available to Sacramento students through a live videoconference.
This article provides a narrative account of the multiple layers of work necessary for students to engage with complex issues of race. Underlying the presentation of the multiple layers involved in this multi-faceted project is an ethnographic perspective on the social construction of knowledge called Interactional Ethnography (e.g., Green, Dixon, and Zaharlick, 2003; Castanheira, Crawford, Dixon and Green, 2001). This approach, based on two decades of ethnographic research in classroom and community settings,
guided our multi-level and multi-method analysis. We draw on this
virtual interactive tour of the exhibit, A Slave Ship Speaks: The Wreck of the Henrietta Marie, as an anchor for a telling case (Mitchell, 1984) for presenting what we were able to uncover (Green, Skukauskaite, Dixon, and Cordova, 2007). Through unfolding the layers of work for both audience and docents participating in the virtual tour, we demonstrate how innovative technologies have the potential to bring new dimensions and resources to students inquiring into complex issues. We use the metaphor of an archaeological dig to frame the uncovering of the layers of work undertaken by a diverse group of actors (i.e., students, teachers, museum personnel, university educators, and technology support staff) and the multiple areas of understanding made possible through this work. Central to the presentation of this work are four inter-related principles of practice guiding the development of this educational innovation: preparing the mind and building a repertoire for action, engaging in and/or with the complex content, taking action from what is learned for self or others, and going public to share what is learned. These principles will be examined as the layers are uncovered.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Literacy Research: Second Edition
Since publication of the first edition, literacy researchers have drawn increasingly on sociocult... more Since publication of the first edition, literacy researchers have drawn increasingly on sociocultural and sociolingustic theories of literacy learning to examine literacy-learning practices within literacy events and contexts. This second edition examines the relationships between current disciplinary and theoretical perspectives associated with these social and cultural perspectives shaping literacy research.
Leading literacy researchers describe how they apply particular disciplinary perspectives t their research, making explicit how those perspectives shape their research. Chapters in the first section examine the application of psychological and social science theories of research design related to issues of the validity of descriptive/qualitative versus experimental/quantitative research methods. Those in the second section examine the application of sociocultural/Activity Theory perspectives to examine literacy learning in the context of community and institutional settings. The third section draws on current linguistic and discourse analysis to examine language use and interactions in literacy events and contexts. A final section applies critical literacy and literary perspectives to issues of research on literacy and literature instruction.
These application of different disciplinary perspectives highlight how differences in theoretical perspectives influence not only how one conducts literacy research, but also the kinds of literacy practices one values in schools.

Like those at the turn of the 20th century, education researchers and their constituencies (e.g., students, teachers, community members, and policy makers) are faced with a series of questions: How are we to respond to the educational challenges of this new millennium? How do we engage with new forms of learning, the influence of new media on children’s lives, changing community dynamics, and many long-standing and tenacious educational and social problems? And how can research and theory constructively and critically engage with the demands and imperatives of government educational and social policies?
In this book, the editors bring together an intergenerational group of researchers who represent both new and long-standing perspectives and debates on the shapes, definitions, and processes of learning in the context of global cultural and economic change.

Over the last four decades, researchers at the intersection of applied linguistics and education ... more Over the last four decades, researchers at the intersection of applied linguistics and education have developed a rich and varied set of research perspectives to examine what is interactionally accomplished in and through discourse in classrooms. These epistemological perspectives (ways of knowing) draw on conceptual and theoretical advances in anthropology, applied linguistics, education, linguistics, psychology, and sociology. The diversity of current epistemological approaches, and the range of issues that it is possible to examine through each, challenge those seeking to understand how to construct a multi‐faceted and multi‐ layered understanding of the complex nature of what is interactionally accomplished in and through classroom discourse. In this chapter, we propose an ethnographic perspective, an orienting logic of inquiry, (Green 1983; Green and Bloome 1997), that is designed to support readers‐as‐analysts in:

The review is presented in two parts. Part 1 provides an analytic review of two seminal reviews of literature that frame theoretical and methodological developments of microethnography and functions language in classrooms with diverse learners. Part 2 presents two telling case studies that illustrate the logic-of-inquiry of (ME/DA) approaches. These telling case studies make transparent how theoretical considerations of cultural perspectives on education inform decisions regarding research methodology. Telling Case Study 1 makes transparent the logic-of-inquiry undertaken to illustrate how microanalyses of discourse and action among participants in a physics class provided an empirical grounding for identifying how different groups undertook a common task. This case study shows how ethnographically informed discourse analyses formed a f...

This paper addresses a series of questions proposed by the editors of this special issue of Calestrocópio Journal. These questions led us to a reexamination of key arguments by Shirley B. Heath, Brian V. Street and Kathryn M. Anderson-Levitt, who have influenced how ethnography can inform epistemological approaches to studying language in use in everyday settings in and out of school. In addition, we revisited the distinction between ethnography in and of education, proposed by Green and Bloome (1997), in the light of a recent reformulation focused on Anthropology in Education, of Education and for Education. This article focuses on the logic of inquiry central to understanding ethnography as epistemology
