Voices calling out to be heard
Theorized transcriptions are ready and analysis for chapter six is on its way. Reading and re-reading the data made me take a moment to here the voice of those searching for help. It was impressive, almost as if they were in agony trying to find a friendly hand that would pull them out of a hole. The identity of those looking for help, of those that wanted to succeed in mathematics and could not find a way out by “themselves.”
It was not only saying “I have this problem,” it went deeper than that. It was not only stating “I am trying to think … I’m guessing,” instead it was openly stating how confused they were, because they “don’t see why” or they “don’t see where” it went wrong. And then, they “stopped,” they “stop there” because they “don’t understand.”
