Community Ethnography
Use these tools to support the incorporation of Community Ethnography as Pedagogy into your Engineering Design.
Community Ethnography as Pedagogy involves:
1) A stance that community knowledge is valuable part of disciplinary knowing;
2) Pedagogical moves which a) support multiple forms of and purposes for interactions and interactional spaces for students, teachers & community members; and b) help teachers to “notice, value and respond to students’ cultural knowledge/practice as important forms of epistemic authority; and
3) Tools which position students and teachers as co-learners of community concerns and their intersections with disciplinary knowing and classroom activity.
