THE INCLUSION OF RESPONDENTS IN QUALITATICE PEDAGOGICAL RESEARCH. METHODOLOGICAL DILEMMAS AND LEGAL CONDITIONS

Abstract

The review article is an attempt to present the issue of including respondents' inclusions in the process of qualitative pedagogical research. The problem is not often discussed in the literature in the field of pedagogical research methodology, while the dynamically developing philosophy of qualitative research in this area (participatory paradigms) proves the need to discuss the methods and possibilities of coop-eration between the researcher and the respondents. The theoretical aim of the authors is to define the described issue, whereas the practical goal of this article is to show how to include respondents in the active participation in research, and legal issues related to their participation. The latest Polish and English-language literature and practical experience indicate the existence of a number of inclusive ways of data collection, analysis and interpretation in cooperation with the surveyed entities. The article may be an inspiration for a pedagogue - teacher - educator - tutor who carries out diagnostic (research) tasks in the process of educating his pupils.
