ABSTRACT

Much of Karen and her partner’s activity seemed to be mediated primarily through their attitudes, values and beliefs in two key areas: the importance of the subject knowledge in relation to the intervention and perceptions concerning the appropriateness of online pedagogical approaches with young children. These factors are represented as primary mediating factors in Figure 8.1, being located close to Karen’s pedagogical keystone. I will explore how this was reflected in the data, together with the interplay between these primary mediating factors and other mediating factors within Karen’s Narrative Ecology.
