Teacher-researcher collaboration from two perspectives

How can qualitative research in education incorporate the voices of both the researched and the researcher? In this article, coauthors Polly Ulichny, a researcher, and Wendy Schoener, a teacher, respond to this question. In alternating sections throughout the article, they present two distinct interperations of the teaching and learning that occurred in an adult English as a Second Language classroom and of their developing relationship as collaborators. Together, Ulichny and Schoener come to realize that interdependence extends beyond agreeing on a research focus to include mutual collaboration in all phases of a research project.
