In so doing, new knowledge - knowledge about their own learning histories and learning styles - is created. This is not an easy task, and mentoring is important to learners as they engage with and learn to take ownership of their own learning. This study, informed by the central research question - how best can mentoring be enacted in order to foster and elicit the high-level cognitive activity required for successful RPL? - gathered data from learners and mentors from four Canadian institutions . Major findings includethe importance of learners' \"finding their voices\" - academically, linguistically, and emotionally. Learners' empowerment emerged as a major theme as did the inability of both learners and mentors to speak fluently about their own learning process.","PeriodicalId":42535,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141822641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine how our focus shifted during the analytical stages of this research to explore our own presence in the research. We then discuss each of our own subjectivitiesand how our individual researcher lenses influenced our collaborative research. Next, we detail our research findings, exploring how acknowledging our own subjectivities altered our approach to the data, helping us to reconceptualize the 14 initial themes in our interviews with adult educators to three overridingones: meaningfulness and ambiguities, power and critique, and reflection and authenticity. We then discuss emerging issues about collaborative inquiry and how our subjectivities as researchers construct lenses that continually inform our research processes, including the analysis and interpretation of data. We concludethat researcher subjectivities, when overtly invited into the research process, can become powerful tools in collaborative qualitative research.","PeriodicalId":42535,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal for the Study of Adult Education","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141821675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present a small study of a storytelling class held within the English Conversation Program at the University of British Columbia Learning Exchange.
