- Description
- In this paper we expand on our earlier methodological deliberations asso-ciated with differentiation within systems, boundaries and transition mechanisms (see Paper 2 in this Bulletin). We explore the potential for using a combination of two methodological tools for our learning path-ways research, in order to address the central methodological question raised through the literature review of learning pathways research, which highlighted a macro-micro dualism this area of study (see Paper 3 in this Bulletin). In Paper 4, we seek to explore whether Bhaskar’s (1993) dialec-tical approach may help with addressing this methodological dualism. We do this through applying the dialectical method, to career stories research approaches, which are one of the foundational approaches used in learn-ing pathways research (see Paper 3 in this Bulletin). Our analysis in this paper therefore uses (a) the development of ‘career stories’ and (b) Criti-cal Realist analysis of these career stories, using Bhaskar’s (1993) dialecti-cal method which foregrounds both absence and emergence.
