A.; Noyes, Jane – Review of Education, 2019
The aim of this study was to provide guidance to improve the completeness and clarity of meta-ethnography reporting. Evidence-based policy and practice require robust evidence syntheses which can further understanding of people's experiences and associated social processes. Meta-ethnography is a rigorous seven-phase qualitative evidence synthesis…

Noblit, George W. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
In this commentary, the author first examines how culture is being used in the articles in this special issue, points to the venerable histories being deployed in these usages, and explores a sense of what could be in the sociocultural and cultural analysis of science education for each article. His review of these articles led to a trope, a…

This paper introduces a theme issue on ethnography and critical theory. The five articles within the issue provide an understanding of the space of postcritical ethnographies, each looking at the topic from a different viewpoint. Together, they reveal that the future marriage of critique and ethnography will be vibrant. (SM)

Peer reviewedNoblit, George W. – Issues in Education, 1986
Although education scholars have long valued contributions of the social sciences to theory and practice, educational researchers have contributed a significant legacy for organizational theory. By focusing the debate on culture and politics, the new paradigm shift in education interprets organizations as being rational, symbolic, and political.…

Peer reviewedNoblit, George W. – Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, 1984
Applied ethnography has strengths in areas that vitally need research and can inform policymakers in areas where rationalism and positivism cannot. However, several threats to the ethnographic approach are posed by a utilitarian culture, e.g., redefinition of the variables studied, a focus on discrete facts and "controlling" knowledge…

Meta-analysis, as a quantitative approach, requires a determination of a basic comparability between phenomena so that the data can be aggregated for the analysis. This is the crux of the problem with the meta-analysis analogy for a meta-ethnography. It implies an aggregate theory of social explanation, and thus may violate the qualitative,…

Noblit, George W. – 1982
The failure to attain a true synthesis of six ethnographic studies of interracial education in desegregated schools is examined. Detailed individual descriptions of desegregation processes were yielded but the failure of summary attempts is attributed to the lack of a theory of social explanation appropriate to interpretive social science, and a…

Noblit, George W.; Dempsey, Van O. – 1996
This book is of the opinion that school reform does not reform schools. The reason is that reform movements conceptualize schools as transmitters of knowledge. The book asserts that, rather, schools are involved in the construction of meaning and morality in the lives of students and communities. Successful reform must, therefore, be based on an…

How power, in the caring perspective, can be seen as moral authority is explored in an ethnographic study of the traditional teacher-centered classroom of a second-grade teacher. Routine and ritual established continuity for curriculum and instruction. The purposes of collective responsibility and work were continuous. (SLD)
