Gregory Bateson, metalogues and artificial intelligence
In this article, I explore the intersection of Bateson’s epistemology, particularly his concept of the metalogue, with the applications of generative AI. I propose a creative, reflective, and playful approach to initiating a literature review by developing AI-generated metalogues that mimic Bateson’s recursive and performative style. Drawing from systems thinking and Bateson’s concept of bioentropy, I discuss the potential of AI to facilitate dee…
Relational, Appreciative, and Process-oriented Digital Storytelling
In this paper, we propose an approach to group and community digital storytelling based on the following pillars: (a) extensive periods dedicated to group forming; facilitating meaningful interactions and members synergies through organized group work activities, (b) cultivating an appreciative and inclusive culture that takes advantage of the individual differences, and (c) a process-oriented practice, informed by systems thinking, that listen t…
Replication Crisis in Psychology, Second-Order Cybernetics, and Transactional Causality
This article aims to reconceptualize the replication crisis as not merely a problem of flawed methods, lack of scientific rigor, or questionable researcher conduct, but as a fundamentally epistemological and philosophical issue. While improved methodologies and scientific practices are necessary, they must be considered through the lens of the underlying epistemologies. Toward this end, a new paradigm for psychological research and practice, grou…
Postdigital Duoethnography
In this article, I explore the evolving affordances of artificial intelligence technologies. Through an evocative dialogue with ChatGPT, a form of a postdigital duoethnography between a human and an artificial intelligence algorithm, I discuss issues of knowledge production, research methods, epistemology, creativity, entropy, and self-organization. By reflecting on my own lived experience during this dialogue, I explore how human-artificial inte…
Rhizomes, nomads, and complexity
We live in an era of unprecedented technological development characterized by the rise of artificial intelligence-mediated techno-social spaces. In this context, it becomes more and more evident we need a different conception of education that shifts the focus from the consumption of disembodied knowledge to the catalyzation of personal and collective development. In a rhizomatic view, knowledge exists only in a web of relationships and education…
Using Drawings in Qualitative Interviews
Drawings are employed by qualitative researchers in many creative ways, and in many different contexts, and a variety of different terms are used to describe similar techniques. I present here a concise description of two basic approaches to integrating participants’ produced drawings into verbal qualitative research interviews, along with characteristic cases of empirical research demonstrating how these approaches have been applied. I also prov…
Experiential Learning in Action
In this paper, we describe a case study of an undergraduate course on research methodology, in which lecture was reduced to a minimum and replaced with experiential learning activities. The course design was project-based and spiraled through four phases: a mini-lecture on a given research method, an “early practice” activity, and “reflection on practice” tutor-guided small group collaborations which led to deeper understanding of the given resea…
Wikipedia in Education
Networked Grounded Theory
The present paper demonstrates a research method combining Grounded Theory and Network Analysis for the inductive generation of a theory solely based on the empirical data being analyzed. This method was developed during my PhD research on the utilization of a virtual community (case study in Wikipedia) in formal Education institutions (tertiary or secondary education). The focus of this paper is on demonstrating the research method developed dur…
