Reflections from a RECE “Elder”
Abstract
Kessler describes her educational background in revisionist history and critical curriculum studies both of which situate her research. Her role in the origination of RECE is also presented. Suggestions for ways in which RECE might influence change in education are offered, including the need to examine the identity of this organization and possible research methods that have the potential to influence change. The suggested methods include adopting a different paradigm, such as critical theory, that includes notions of praxis and relational analysis. In addition, case study methodology and action research are suggested as having the potential to effect change.
