Presentation Type: Oral Presentation
Recent decades have seen greater emphasis on learner centeredness in education. However, concerns have been raised that learners’ voices are often overshadowed by researchers’ in research in education. We set out to address this imbalance between researchers’ and learners’ voices in empirical studies. Based on our recently published article, we will discuss a novel educational research approach and data collection method, the Group Repertory Grid Approach (RGA), which tackle the issue of the lack of learners’ voices in research design. The philosophy and steps behind this method, which we pioneered with a group of young learners in Hong Kong, will be presented. This learner-centred research method is likely to be of interest and value to postgraduates and researchers in the field of education and beyond.
