各位大神,帮忙翻译一下这个词,Methodological Rich Points。翻译素材中反复出现,不敢胡翻。
翻译素材题目:Selecting Appropriate Research Methods in LPP Research: Methodological Rich Points
南希·霍恩伯格
这是参考文献:
Methodological rich points are those times when researchers learn that their assumptions about the way research works and the conceptual tools they have for doing research are inadequate to understand the worlds they are researching.
Methodological rich points make salient the pressures and tensions between the
practice of research and the changing scientifc and social world in which researchers work. When we pay attention to those points and adjust our research
practices accordingly, they become key opportunities to advance our research
and our understandings. 1
I have borrowed and adapted the term methodological rich points from ethnographer Michael Agar’s notion of “rich points” as those times in ethnographic
research when something happens that the ethnographer doesn’t understand,
when “an ethnographer learns that his or her assumptions about how the world
works, usually implicit and out of awareness, are inadequate to understand
something that had happened” [in the corner of the world he or she is encountering] (Agar 1996: 31). Agar discusses rich points as one of three important pieces of
ethnography: participant observation makes the research possible, rich points
are the data you focus on, and coherence is the guiding assumption by which you
seek out a frame within which the rich points make sense (Agar 1996: 32). Rich
points, then, are points of experience that make salient the differences between
the ethnographer’s world and the world the ethnographer sets out to describe.
Methodological rich points are, by extension, points of research experience that
make salient the differences between the researcher’s perspective and mode of
research and the world the researcher sets out to describe.
