Abstract
Capturing the authentic voices of participants through the research process can be problematic (Kvale, 1996). Michael Eraut (2000), through extensive research of workplace learning, highlights a problem arising in using semi-structured interviews alone: ‘they are
more likely to refer to formal learning than non-formal learning’ (p.119). He suggests the use of mediating objects to help participants ‘…make sense of their experience and understand issues and alternative perspectives more clearly.’ (2000: p.120). The use of
adopting techniques developed through SNA and network mapping in my research is an attempt to follow this advice and I draw on the work of researchers, such as Gauntlett (2007), who are developing thinking in related research methods involving mediating artefacts in interviews.
