Here&#8217;s a snippet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I present how ANT was used to research the experience of preservice teachers in a prescribed teacher education program. These preservice teachers were aiming to become K-12 teachers teaching in the area of technology education. Along with my specific research context, I also consider how ANT can be used to examine the broader issues in teacher education. Furthermore, I present some limits of ANT; for example, what it does not investigate in research and what it cannot explicate or resolve in education. These limits, however, do not diminish the potentiality of ANT and what it can offer educational researchers. Instead, ANT is best employed as an ethno-methodology, accounting for the social, material, and complexity of understanding educational phenomena (pp. 69-70).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A working bibliography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Callon, M.
