Abstract
In this section chapters highlight the role of semiosis in constructing and interpreting the practices through which roles and relationships are negotiated across a range of educational settings. For the authors interpretation in educational research is not something performed exclusively by the researchers at the end of the study, but is relevant to every stage of the process and all its participants (both researchers and researched). It therefore follows that language and other forms of semiosis should be a key analytical focus in exploring the importance of these sense-making practices in education.
