From both a psychological and sociological perspective, it is probably safe to assume that the original purpose of a study or the initial collaborative planning will seldom, if ever, suffice. Speaking from a psychological perspective, Hermans, Rijks, and Kempen (1993) argue that the self is fundamentally multifaceted and that one’s personal narrative changes over time, space, and events.
Instead, each represents a different “logic of action” (Forrester, 1993) that underpins the constructions of particular actors and that needs to be admitted into research negotiations. While it may be relatively easy to recognize differences among teachers’ and researchers’ constructions, it is not so easy to understand or to integrate them. For example, collaborative researchers often espouse “valuing of difference,” but they have not always been successful with practicing that value.
