Tom Barone. Perspective 5: Arts Based Educational Research
“Despite all these encouraging developments, artistic approaches to research in the areas of the human studies, including education, remain somewhere on the margins. Academics who have been professionally socialized into a narrow view of what constitutes legitimate research often find it difficult to imagine the potential utility of alternative research approaches.” p. 69
Philips, D. C. Nine Perspectives of Research, Chapter 4
“A few aestheticians might argue that art (and hence ABER) can involve a quest for certainty. (…) For a story, play, photograph, or film to fulfill this sort of summative purpose, it must function as a kind of mirror that reflects the reality of what has occurred. It must accurately represent, with a high degree of certainty, the facts of the matter. To that end, the unique perspective of the researcher must be filtered out of the work lest it be tainted by a bias that reduces certainty.” p.69
