ABSTRACT

This paper is a methodological reflection drawn from a study on the transition from school into young adulthood in Aotearoa New Zealand. During this process, the personal priorities of young adults with significant disabilities often becomes overpowered by those involved in their post-school planning. Through the experiences of young adults living this experience, empirical considerations are offered on the topic of agency. Agentic ethnography combines inclusive ideologies and research methods with theoretical underpinning of the capability approach. The product is adapted interview formats used to develop agentic participation in research to foster inclusive knowledge on the topic of transition. Practical implications for research and the educational field are provided to illustrate collaborative processes and products that not only collect ‘voice’ but importantly, have it be heard.

摘要

本文是对新西兰奥特阿罗从学校到成年期过渡的一项研究的方法论反思。在此过程中，有严重残疾的年轻人的个人优先事项常常被那些参与他们的学后计划的人压倒。通过生活在这种经历中的年轻人的经历，我们就代理主题提供了经验性的考虑。代理民族志将包容性意识形态和研究方法与能力方法的理论基础相结合。该产品改编了访谈格式，用于开发代理参与研究，以培养关于转型主题的包容性知识。提供了对研究和教育领域的实际影响，以说明不仅收集“声音”，而且重要的是，让其被听到的协作过程和产品。
