Description
In this book, I have sought to share my living educational theory based on my 30-plus years of teaching and reflection on my practice to create pedagogical thoughtfulness in my readers and influence their practice. I have three target audiences; students, pre-service and in-service teachers and the community of educational researchers.
In the first section I describe my practice. I believe that each student has a different learning profile when it comes to how information is received, processed and ultimately turned into knowledge. This section also acts as a memoir as I take the opportunity to acknowledge the people who have influenced my journey.
In the second section, I delve into the academic literature to explore the theory of critical constructivism that underlies my practice which I encountered in my post-graduate studies.
Ultimately, the book focuses on how teachers can create space where students are encouraged to question, use their creativity and imagination, and learn from mistakes. It is about engagement - engagement of students as active participants in their learning journey and knowledge construction, and better engagement of teachers to act as their guides.
