Tento text přináší některé metodologické poznatky a výzvy, které vznikly během výzkumné práce v rámci mé dizertační práce. Zabývá se specifickou situací, která nastala během výzkumu, a představuje tak mou přímou zkušenost. Na počátku jsem do zkoumané oblasti vstupoval sice s velmi dobrou teoretickou předchozí informovaností o zkoumané problematice, ale bez jakékoli praktické zkušenosti. V průběhu práce jsem se následně stal ve zkoumaném prostředí jeho aktivním účastníkem (zaměstnancem školy).
Nové uchopení a úvahy o výzkumu přinesly řadu výzev a otázek. Byla to natolik zásadní změna, že měla vliv i na dokončení celé dizertační práce. Po dvou letech od chvíle, kdy jsem vstoupil jako zaměstnanec do zkoumaného prostředí, jsem dospěl k závěru, že je nutné se hlouběji zabývat fenoménem pozicionality výzkumníka a také některými etickými otázkami a metodologickými výzvami.
