Reflections on Pedagogy: A Journey of Collaboration

摘要

One of the goals of autoethnography is to "offer lessons for further conversation". In this article, the author reflects on several lessons that were learnt along a journey in management education in the area of indigenous entrepreneurship. In particular, the author outlines her pedagogical practice as an academic engaged in teaching entrepreneurship to Maori students in a university setting. In developing the pedagogical approach for the course, the author has drawn on the metaphor of spiral; this approach involves the teacher and students forming a collaborative double spiral of learning through a process of acknowledgment, adaptation, and advancement. It is hoped that this discussion stimulates conversation and reflection for the reader in much the same manner that writing this article has enabled the author to examine, question, and develop her own pedagogical practice.
