#793: Designing with Care: Exploring the Embodied and Affective Dimensions of Collaborative Noticing

This paper brings together three cases to examine the question, what happens when we approach the design of research contexts to explore professional noticing with care? Through video-based interaction analysis, a pattern emerged within the researcher-participant interactions. When researchers engaged with care, research contexts became sites of collaborative sense-making that supported participants to come to new insights about their practices. Essential to the development of these research contexts was the emic nature of the researchers’ connections to the partnerships–each researcher had a personal connection to the professional practice. Together, these insights point to possibilities for the study of a researchers’ noticing practices, which we argue is integral to the analysis and design of future research partnerships and contribute to meaningful and care-full learning and research.
