Uncovering Edtech’s embedded values: making the case for socio-technical audits in ethnographic inquiry
- Abstract:
- Drawing on three ethnographic studies of secondary schools in England, this article makes a case for “socio-technical audits” – a method combining technological walkthroughs with observations, workshops, and interviews – as part of ethnographic inquiry. A case example is presented to illustrate how the integration of socio-technical audits enables articulation of the underlying logics of technologies, while producing empirically grounded, contextually situated accounts of how technologies are interpreted, negotiated, and embedded within everyday educational practice.
