Empowered participation
- We are concerned about how disempowering it might it be for LEXDIS participants if JISC and the ALT community dismiss the project findings as unrepresentative of other students?
- We would urge that this investment should not be dismissed carelessly due to slavish adherence to positivist notions of generalisability derived from quantitative research.
- We would argue, that for qualitative research such as the LEXDIS project we should not think in terms of empirical generalisability, but rather in terms of theoretical generalisability
- where links are made between the results from a particular study, the professional judgement of users of the study and the wider literature.
