Ringkasan Artikel ‘A friend who understand fully’: Notes on humanizing research in a multiethnic youth community" Oleh Paris, Django

Theory:

Artikel ini menggunakan humanizing theory. Hal ini dapat dilihat pada beberapa kutipan seperti pada halaman beberapa halaman berikut:

"And I remain connected to many of their lives, attending their high school graduations now two years after the study, writing letters of recommendation for jobs or college, texting about relationships or fights or college admission, checking-in when crisis or transition happens: for humanizing research does not end when the study does. But I continually question whether it was worth it for them, whether those months of humanization between us influenced their lives in important enough ways" (Paris, 2011, p. 146-147)

"For now, I must reckon with how I can continue to humanize the cultural communities of my work as I myself was humanized by the young people in those communities" (Paris, 2011, p. 147)

"We can be friends with our participants. We can, in small ways, come to understand. We can inspire them as they inspire us. We can humanize through the act of research" (Paris, 2011, p. 147)

Knowledge:

Pengetahuan didapatkan dengan melakukan aktivitas bersama. Dengan beraktivitas bersama, guru dapat memahami keunikan yang dimiliki tiap siswa dengan lebih baik. Begini lah caranya siswa mendapatkan pemahaman baru. Paris (2011, p. 146) mengetik "...for both Ela and I the confluence of basketball and language and our identities created a public space in school for her to share her linguistic knowledge".

Teaching & Learning:

Kegiatan belajar mengajar dilaksanakan secara unik dan lebih menyeluruh. Paris mengungkapkan pengalamannya yang rutin berkirim email dengan salah satu siswa. Dengan begitu siswa sudah merasa nyaman dengan guru sehingga terbentuk kepercayaan pada guru tersebut.

"The month of getting to know each other and developing early trust" (Paris, 2011, p. 141)

"...he understood that I was not out to evaluate him but, rather, was interested in learning from and with him" (Paris, 2011, p. 141)

"When I was sitting in the back of classrooms jotting down fieldnotes, I was primarily an observer, whereas when I was playing basketball at the community or school gym I was primarily a participant. In each of these circumstances, I was gathering understanding, but my role as a member of the activities shifted throughout my research. Yet, humanization between researchers and participants is not achieved through taking fieldnotes in the back of classrooms (however necessary such jotting may be)"  (Paris, 2011, p. 144)

Logic of Inquiry:

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah

"I will attempt to provide a description of how my field methods allowed me in small ways to 'understand fully’ and, in even smaller ways, ‘to inspire’ the youth in my study, to humanize through research rather than colonize by research" (Paris, 2011, p. 140)

Jumlah peserta adalah sebanyak 8 siswa yaitu Carla, Miles, Julio, Gloria, Rochelle, Rahul, Carlos, and Ela.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode etnografi. Wawancara digunakan untuk mendapatkan data dari setiap partisipan. Pengambilan data dilakukan dalam berbagai aktivitas, seperti saat sedang bermain basket atau berkirim email.
