How do I improve what I am doing as a teacher, teacher educator and action-researcher through reflection? A learning walk from Lleida to Winchester and back again

摘要

The purpose of this article is to show the process of engaging with the question ‘How do I improve what I am doing as a teacher, teacher educator and action-researcher through reflection?’ The methodology used will explore the role of reflection and writing to promote changes and improve my learning process as a teacher and action-researcher. The main data source is written assignments from students in initial teacher education. The analysis of the students’ written assignments helped me see ‘living contradictions’ in-between my theoretical framework, my teaching and my researching practice. The article shows that I have more rhizomatic thought in my teaching than in my researching. I want ‘what I do’ in teacher education to be ‘consistent/coherent’, between the striated space of theoretical framework and the smooth space of my practice. I explore my methodological ‘uniqueness’ in my becoming teacher-researcher.View full textDownload full textKeywordsrhizomatic thought, living contradictions, consistent/coherent, becoming teacher-researcherRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09650792.2011.600526
