Paper Abstract:
|
The present study explores how the visualization of an actor network enables researchers to understand mediating
processes better by investigating relationships and effects among elements and entities other than human-actor accounts.
In particular, the study presents how visualization may facilitate an understanding of the dynamics and structures of an
ecological classroom and thus provide insightful reflections for analyzing data and for drawing conclusions. In doing so,
the study explores the possibility that object-oriented thinking guided by actornetwork theory (ANT) may allow
researchers to understand what data means when the initial design/theoretical conjecture does not work. |
