Believing communication is possible: Using video analysis in research
Date / Time: 27 February 2014, 2-3pm
Venue: TC2.27 (A&B Meeting Room), Faculty of Education
Dr. Sissel Sollied is currently a postdoctoral fellow in counselling and guidance in the Department of Education, UIT. Sissel is also a member of the research group in counselling/guidance in the Department and Convener of the Nordic Network in Counseling, NERA (http://www.nfpf.net/). Sissel is currently visiting the University of Waikato and is hosted by Faculty of Education’s Department of Human Development and Counselling.
The main focus of her research work is on how counseling processes can be organised so that they provide increased knowledge and empowerment to parents and practitioners who work with people with severe communication problems. Without the presence of verbal language, it is hard for practitioners to recognise that meaningful communication is possible. Practitioners need to believe in the capacity of all severely disabled children to communicate. How meeting points between different perspectives and experiences can be discovered and developed with those responsible for providing support and care for children is also a focus of her academic work. Dr Sollied will give two lectures that will focus on how to develop a video in educational work with disabled children in this field.
The discussion during the second lecture, Using video analysis in research, will include the following:
Implemented the process in disabled children’s life-worlds: Refining the model
- Using video as a facilitative tool in reflective group settings
- Discovering multiple perspectives and levels of knowledge: Finding a meta-position
- The PHD project: Bring together video material, school records and semi-structured interviews.
