Becoming a Teacher; Using Narrative as Reflective Practice. A Cross-Disciplinary Approach
ISBN: 9781433113307 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Becoming a Teacher revisits the concept of Teacher Lore (Schubert and Ayers, 1992), by providing a cross-disciplinary approach linking elements of narrative theory to all aspects of pre- and in-service teaching. In essence, it embraces the notion that what teachers say matters. The rationale behind this text is the idea that narrative can not only be a conceptual lens through which a particular discipline can be re-examined, but also an aid to help preservice teachers understand the potential importance of personal experience and reflective ways of knowing as they learn to become...

ISBN: 9781433125218 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

In our understandable rush to ameliorate suffering at every turn and to consider every instance of it as an error to be avoided at all costs, we explore how the pedagogy that can come from suffering becomes obscured and something vital to a rich and vibrant pedagogy can be lost. This collection threads through...
