Title: TEACHING IS LIKE ENGINEERING: THEORISING MY PROFESSIONAL
PRACTICE
|
Authors: John D Branch, USA |
Abstract: This article presents a doctoral research project in which I theorised my professional practice as
an analogy that teaching is like engineering. It begins by tracing my teaching career, and
highlighting how I discovered my community of practice, and subsequently how I pinpointed my
professional identity. It then outlines Living Educational Theory which I adopted as the paradigm
for the research project, and describes the autoethnography which I conducted to theorise my
professional practice. The chapter continues by presenting the analogy that teaching is like
engineering. It concludes with a discussion of the analogy and Living Educational Theory. |
