Sinopse
Características

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.
