Reflection In Action: Constructive Narratives Of Experience, Nilofar Vazir
Reflection In Action: Constructive Narratives Of Experience, Nilofar Vazir
Institute for Educational Development, Karachi
This paper examines narratives of experience from teachers’ lives. It locates teachers as academic constructors of knowledge and uses the cases of reflective practice and inquiry in the development of self‐knowledge. I explore teachers knowledge in light of my own understanding from literature, research findings on beginning teachers, reflections on my personal experiences; my development as a teacher overseas and in my country Pakistan. Most importantly as self‐reflection I offer Pakistan’s move to construct professional knowledge and my own attempt as a teacher educator to aspire towards that goal.
