What is Ideological

Chapter 5
Scholarly Publishing and Research Methods Across Disciplines
Ideology is the way that we see the world and make sense of it. It is formed through a combination of experience and study to create a set of ideas that determine how to interpret new information. When a new situation occurs, we use the ideological tools we have available to interpret it. That ideology may serve us so that we understand the new situation, or it may not and there may be an ideological shift to interpret the new situation. The problem comes when a new situation requires a shift in ideology and the individual refuses to make that shift. That is when people refuse to face reality of rely on prejudice to interpret the world.

In this way, the research, in which the authors attempt to empower participants, is a pedagogical tool.
