First-Year Teacher, Second Time Around - An Autobiographical Self-study of Teaching in Higher Education (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639007435)

This inquiry into teacher knowledge is an autobiographical self-study that focuses on the experiences of a former public school educator as he begins facilitating undergraduate teacher education courses at the university level. Utilizing the method of narrative inquiry, this work considers the importance of reflective practice, experiential learning, and autobiographical reflection as teachers expand their personal practical knowledge and discover how that knowledge comes to be. Recognizing the importance of previous contributions in the field of self-study for teacher educators this work extends the knowledge base of teacher education practices by demonstrating how the reflective, self-conscious examination of experiences helps teacher educators reframe their teaching and offer out their experience towards the learning of others.
