- Summary:
-
This paper provides the material for an interview/discussion of the teacher as researcher involved in a self-study of his own teaching activity. Opening sections describe the original self-study conducted by a teacher over the course of the 1993 school year while teaching secondary school math and science in Australia. These sections also briefly describe self-study as a means to professional change and improvement among teachers. The data collection consisted of a daily journal maintained by the teacher and read and commented on by colleagues and used finally as a source for developing 24 theme statements on teaching and learning. Two other data sources were the work of a research assistant who spent 12 days visiting classes and interviewing 22 students to gather their perspectives and student writing from throughout the year. The remaining sections describe the format and goal of the proposed discussion and contain three extracts from the journal. The presentation/interview is intended to use the data and the presence of the self-study participant to explore the possibilities associated with the introduction of data for analysis through public discussion. The attenders at the presentation were expected to become actively involved in discussion and study of the data, possibly creating new forms of knowledge in the process. Table 1 lists the 24 theme statements. Contains eight references. (JB)
