Abstract:
The treatment of dispositions in the ACRL framework has had little attention, for example, the ACRL document barely unpacks its meaning and pedagogy related to dispositions and learning. It is important to explore how to teach and address dispositions to acknowledge that students and researchers design and conduct research through a lens informed by their worldview. Teaching students and researchers about researcher positionality can prompt questions and reflection on ones bias and views that may influence how research is designed, and interpreted. The goals of this paper are to (a) identify the relation between disposition and positionality (b) provide an overview of positionality from different fields that highlight its use in teaching dispositions (c) identify a praxis that address positionality when teaching IL practices.
