My initial field study had to do with incorporating cultural perspectives into the curriculum. I found it very difficult to locate articles with different viewpoints. I was able to find articles with teachers who found different ways to incorporate culture, but it wasn’t from a different perspective. I think that most field studies aren’t written to be controversial and therefore it is probably hard for everyone to find a variety of viewpoints. Now, my field study has changed to an examination of the trends in technology throughout my district. I am going to look at how technology is being used in a variety of ways to either enhance the learning of students or to simply use technology because it is there.

One Response to “Finding readings from a variety of viewpoints”
I also agree that locating articles with different viewpoints are difficult to find. There is a lot of reading to do to gather information that might provide different perspectives or ideas but not different viewpoints. Although your first field study question sounded very useful, the examination of technology trends within our district would be very interesting. We are often so busy in our own classrooms/schools that we don’t always know what is happening around our District. I will look forward to finding out about what you learn.
