Empathetic Validity in Practitioner Research
Authors: Dadds Marion
This paper explores the concept of empathetic validity, that is, the potential of practitioner research in its processes and outcomes to transform the emotional dispositions of people towards each other, such that greater empathy and regard are created. The paper argues that practitioner research that is high in empathetic validity contributes to positive human relationships and, as such, is an important form of research in an age of increasing violence as well as stress and tension in the workplace.

Terminology, Emphasis, and Utility in Validation
Authors: Kane Michael T.
Lissitz and Samuelsen (2007) have proposed an operational definition of validity to a utility of test use. The author claims that the definitions do not support interpretation of score. The author argues that validation should involve an evaluation of the proposed interpretations and uses of test scores, and Test developers may choose to adopt a narrow operational interpretation of test scores, but if they do so, they should label the test accordingly.

In a glass darkly? Writing as blurred reflection
Authors: Mantle Martin
When I started a PhD on the representation of blind men, I believed that what was required was the production of something that proclaimed my knowledge and my expertise - to get the reader to see what I mean. This essay explores the fragmentary and blurry fragments and with blurred edges to investigate the possibility that knowledge is not the same as clarity, and that reading and writing are as much about the spaces between words as the words themselves.

Authors: Atleo Marlene R.
Searching for a methodology that would allow the author to 'see' across worldviews and articulate them both was the academic challenge of investigating learning ideology across Canadian and Aboriginal worldviews with Aboriginal Nuu-chah-nulth Elders. A mode of inquiry was required permitting the author to hold a Euro-heritage and an Aboriginal heritage in a bi-cultural balance as experienced by a participant in both.
