When Values Clash--A poem for two voices
by Jennifer Webster
|
When values clash |
With practice |
|
Action researchers must |
|
|
Unmask |
Open up |
|
Examine assumptions |
Expose beliefs |
|
Be vulnerable |
Be vulnerable. |
|
|
|
|
|
This requires |
|
Honesty |
Trust |
|
Awareness |
|
|
Confidence |
Confidence. |
|
|
|
|
Our voices |
|
|
Share |
Question |
|
Analyse |
Synthesise |
|
Create |
Create. |
|
|
|
|
|
But we must be |
|
Accepting |
Respecting |
|
Informed |
|
|
Heard |
Heard. |
|
|
|
|
Is our knowledge |
Is our understanding |
|
Our ways of knowing |
Our ways of knowing |
|
Valid? |
Valid? |
|
|
|
|
Within our community |
Of peers |
|
Within our |
|
|
Context |
Framework |
|
We are |
Subjective |
|
Objective |
Educated |
|
Informed |
|
|
Emancipated |
Emancipated. |
|
|
|
|
We are free to |
Reflect |
|
Improve |
Rethink |
|
Act |
Act. |
|
And we become |
More knowledgeable |
|
Better teachers |
Master learners |
|
Action researchers |
Action researchers. |
