Powerful Pedagogy: Self-Study of a Teacher Educator’s Practice (Self-Study of Teaching and Teacher Education Practices)

Powerful Pedagogy: Self-Study of a Teacher Educator s Practice is the outcome of the author s systematically questioning her assumptions about teaching and, in various ways, gives voice to the many individuals who have had an impact on the development of the author s pedagogy as a mathematics teacher educator. Using self-study as both a lens and a methodology to research her practice over the past three years, the author examines the impact of reflection and reflective practice in pre-service teacher education; voice, silence and that which remains unsaid ; the ways in which teacher identities emerge and develop, and the role of authority and power in learning about teaching.
