Salivary amylase gene variations influence the physiologic response to starchy foods
This study examines the process of programmatic and curricular reform in teacher education at Anglophone universities across Canada. The first phase of research involved gathering preliminary information about how teacher education institutions were responding to calls for reform, gauging the nature and extent of these efforts and processes associated with their facilitation, and identifying perceived key obstacles and enablers of change. The ana…
Arts-Informed Research
Handbook of the Arts in Qualitative Research
Knowles and Cole bring together the top scholars in qualitative methods to provide a comprehensive overview of where arts-based research has come, and where it is going. It addresses the significant issues conceiving and conducting arts-based or arts-informed research in the social sciences and humanities
Love Stories about Caregiving and Alzheimer's Disease
Love Stories is a spoken-word performance created from data gathered from family caregivers about their experiences of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's disease. We present the Love Stories script with an accompanying methodological commentary and put forward a framework of `Loving Research' based on a model of dementia care proposed by the late Tom Kitwood. Kitwood proposed a five-part model of psychological needs of people with dementia c…
Lives in Context. The Art of Life History Research
Walter R. Heinz, The Canadian Journal of Sociology / Cahiers canadiens de sociologie, Vol. 29, No. 2, Special Issue on Social Policy: Canadian and International Perspectives (Spring, 2004), pp. 316-317
Lives in Context
The reflexive turn in qualitative research has transformed the process of doing life history research. No longer are research subjects examined through the lens of the all-knowing but supposedly invisible researcher. As Ardra Cole and Gary Knowles point out in this fresh introduction to conducting life history research, the process is now one of mutuality, empathy, sensitivity and caring. The authors carry the novice researcher through the steps …

We're Just Like the Beginning Teachers We Study
This article transcends our current research focus on the development, socialization, and induction of beginning teachers to the world of classrooms and schools. We examine the contents and pressures associated with our own inductions into the university professoriate. In many ways, as new professors, we have relived elements of our own first years as teachers in elementary and secondary schools, both through our own experiences as neophytes in t…

Support for beginning teachers in Ontario
Over the past few years, Ontario educators have looked for ways to ease new teachers’ transition into teaching and to facilitate professional growth. As an influx of new teachers moved into Ontario schools, and as calls for educational reform became part of the government rhetoric, new teacher induction became a topic which received considerable attention. In this article we provide an overview of current induction practices in Ontario, and consi…
Teacher Development Partnership Research
Our purposes in writing this article are to reflect on our own research practice and to raise for discussion some of the issues associated with “alternative” approaches to studying teaching and teacher development. Situating our work within a personal and contextual research framework that is built on the foundations of a hermeneutic perspective, we briefly review the progress towards alternative approaches to research on teaching and teacher dev…

Personal signals in spontaneous teaching practice
When experienced teachers respond at the moment to situational complexities, it is a complex phenomenon of adaptation. At a surface level these spontaneous actions can be described as immediate responses to cues [from the students, the teachers, or elsewhere in the environment]. An in‐depth examination of spontaneous teaching practice, however, reveals how complex and personal is this phenomenon of adaptation. Examples of spontaneous teaching pra…
