Life History as a Methodology for CIE.

In this conference of the comparative and international education society (CIES). It was interest in part of presentation of final paper of the students, which is research. I attended the (session 3) about the philosophy and practice of internationalization.
The Presenter was presenting about life history as a methodology for (CIE) and she took an example from Tanzania by interviewing some of the girls in secondary school in Tanzania and through this interview she is asking them to tell about their life which concern with their education so they started telling about problems that affecting their studies like lack of resources, long distance from school and lack of classrooms and also right for girl child education so the research problems has similarities with the one of South Sudan. The Researcher post some of the questions:
·      What are the possibilities and limitations of schooling to engender female empowerment?

·      How do female secondary school graduates explain?

  1. Great post! I'm glad you were able to experience this conference. What do you think about the life history qualitative methodology? Would you want to do this type of research?

  2. I think you had a great experience. It seems the problem that she was doing research on is similar to the problems in South Sudan. So we can as well learn from their knowledge and acquire the skills on how we can address some issues in our country.
