Abstract
This article documents the use of professional conversation as a method of
participatory research to question, inform and innovate assessment practices used
in tertiary settings. Utilising a professional conversations model, four tertiary
educators engaged in a 6-month long email conversation designed to explore our
individual and collective sense-making around use of a specific mode of
assessment relating to sport pedagogy-related teacher and coach education
courses. Justification for use of a professional conversations model is presented,
along with participants’ experiences of engaging in this participatory method of
data capture. A brief summary of participants’ post-conversation views on PASS
is included, as well as recommendations relating to the utility of using a
professional conversations model as a participatory research method.
