791 - Making Sense of the Dervin Article The article, From the Mind’s Eye of the User: The Sense-Making Qualitative-Quantitative Methodology by Brenda Dervin definitely proved to be a challenging and dense read. We were asked to be metacognitive in the reading of it, focusing on our own processes as we tried to understand the content. I found myself feeling uncertain in the first couple of pages and soon frustrated.

After struggling with the content I will venture to guess that Dervin may be trying to teach concepts and principles and perhaps the gist of the article is about perspective. If I were to try to teach the content of this article to a high schooler, I think I would spend more time trying to understand it myself and find a colleague to discuss it with. I would search for graphics and perhaps video clips that may help students process the information and build understanding.
