This article explores how we extended our professional knowledge in relation to HIV and AIDS, starting with our own self-study doctoral projects. We each self-selected exemplars from our completed doctoral projects as data sources. We also wrote reflective letters which we emailed to each other to create poems to learn about and improve our practice in the South African context of HIV and AIDS. Using two different sets of poetic representations, we framed possibilities to explore how poetic inquiry enhanced our professional learning. We also considered how poetic inquiry can contribute to professional responsibilities in general. Our collaborative poetic self-study facilitated relooking at our doctoral projects differently. We concluded that our poetic self-study research enabled in-depth considerations of our particular concerns, which in turn assisted us in framing our professional learning as teacher educators researching and teaching in the HIV and AIDS context. Through poetic analysis, we realized that we must extend and continue growing our self-study scholarship that centers on making a difference concerning HIV and AIDS. In our inquiry, we could persist in seeking additional innovative, alternative ways of commencing and continuing conversations around social issues in HIV and AIDS. Collaborative self-study poetic inquiry permits rekindling, revitalizing and rejuvenating one’s research interests for continued professional learning and professional responsibilities.","PeriodicalId":45793,"journal":{"name":"Studying Teacher Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"316 - 333"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84582958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have often found ourselves disproportionately focusing on moments of frustration or perceived difficulty in our practices. In this study, we employed collaborative self-study to identify moments of success, and the methods we enacted in those moments, within two sections of an introductory teaching course. Analysis of transcribed debriefing sessions revealed that while we initially believed that we were largely similar in our practices, there were more layers and diversity to our practices than we realized. While we found that we had similar definitions of ‘successful’ teaching, due to our shared commitments to socially transformative and critical pedagogy, and enacted a similar metaphor for teaching, we also found that we used divergent tools within the classroom and utilized our tacit knowledge in distinctive ways. Within those moments of success, we uncovered convergences and divergences in our practices that were previously hidden. This process of collaborative self-study created opportunities for the continued evolution of our teacher education practices in ways that we could not anticipate. We conclude with a discussion of implications for teacher candidates, in-service teachers, and teacher educators including the value in exploring tacit knowledge and moments of success, the versatility of collaborative self-study methodology, and the complexities of socially transformative pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":45793,"journal":{"name":"Studying Teacher Education","volume":"98 2","pages":"5 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72475258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the time of this study, we were both teacher educators at a university in South Africa, working in social justice and ecojustice in education and how these intersect with teacher development and professional development. Given South Africa’s history of discrimination and how this continues to manifest in the present, a challenge is to develop ways for students to engage with difficult and complex past experiences and become educators who can collaboratively disrupt, rather than reproduce, oppressive systems and structures in education. We respond to this challenge by engaging in collaborative arts-based self-study methods that enable us to draw on our educational experiences and consider how we might strengthen our educational practices as teacher educators. We specifically employ poetry to engage in a diffractive reading of our experiences and work with object inquiry to foreground where differences emerge and why they matter. These differences are conceptualized as affirmative and productive of creative ruptures. Through exploring these differences, we seek to generate pedagogical opportunities for preservice teachers to engage in critical self-study of becoming-educators and work towards socially and ecologically just futures. We hope to change our practice by employing collaborative self-study to engage in a diffractive reading of becoming-educators. In addition, we aim to generate pedagogical possibilities for preservice teachers to explore their journeys of becoming-educators creatively and collaboratively.","PeriodicalId":45793,"journal":{"name":"Studying Teacher Education","volume":"63 1","pages":"276 - 293"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90232357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The self-study aimed to understand the aesthetic link in the development of being a teacher-researcher. This was a departure from positivist rationality and affirmation of an anthropoforming paradigm that connects research, action, and formation via a transdisciplinary systemic epistemology. The context of this self-study is a relationship between teacher-researchers from one high school and two higher education institutions in the Brazilian northeast. Using a reflective anthropoetic (an opening for ethical and aesthetic creation, critical possibilities and pedagogical reinvention) diary, two physical education teacher-researchers developed a critical friendship in a collaborative self-study process on the complexities of beginning teaching for one of them. We share our learning in a diary with excerpts organized in three lines of thought, or what we call reflective flyovers, regarding: life history, teacher education, and pedagogical practice of being initiated into the teacher-researcher profession. Thematic categories were represented by excerpts from the Árvore poem. The three reflective flyovers explored included the teaching knowledge of the teacher-researchers, which in turn converge and diverge, impacting the other, the methodology, and the context of practice. Our critical friendship contributed to the self-study process of initiating into the teacher-researcher profession through interactive and creative communication. This poetic self-study points to different paths of learning and professional growth, increasing the value and impact of using poetry to make sense of research findings.","PeriodicalId":45793,"journal":{"name":"Studying Teacher Education","volume":"33 1","pages":"294 - 315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80310751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I assert that poetic inquiry is a vehicle for representing the embodied, emotive aspects of ongoing identity development. I contend that poetic inquiry is a doorway to sharing experiences and understandings of identity in authentic, lived ways that speak back to metanarratives of academic work.

The displacement caused by social distancing regulations and repeated government-mandated lockdowns, as well as our own shifting circumstances, have forced us to re-examine these academic identities as we negotiate the challenges of working together while not being able to inhabit the same physical space. In this study, we work dialogically, collaboratively and reciprocally, to interrogate our identities as educators in a creative discipline. Using poetic inquiry and reciprocal found poetry, we examined our teaching experiences in the moment of rupture created by the Covid-19 pandemic. We explore how we are (re)learning and (re)imagining who we are as teachers and what we do with, and for, our students, through interrogating our lived experiences in poetic form. In so doing, we recognize how, by accepting fluidity and contingency, having an ethic of care for ourselves and for our students, accepting our vulnerability, and trusting our resilience, we begin to find the positives, and to embrace, rather than resist, the challenges we are facing. Our process of creating our reciprocal found poems and the use of dialogue as a mode of analysis and meaning-making offer a methodological approach that others may find useful in developing their poetic self-study research.","PeriodicalId":45793,"journal":{"name":"Studying Teacher Education","volume":"5 1","pages":"240 - 257"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84137408","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kitchen","doi":"10.1080/17425964.2022.2102930","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/17425964.2022.2102930","url":null,"abstract":"The title of this editorial reflects one of the fundamental characteristics of self-study, that is, understanding the person within the professional and how the ‘who’ of the teacher educator is understood and enacted through practice. Understanding self and identity and its relationship with practice is captured in the title of Geert Kelchtermans’s (2009) seminal article, ‘Who I am in how I teach is the message’. Each of the five articles in this issue engages with issues of self and identity, albeit through different perspectives and via different means. The articles offer insights into the challenges experienced by teacher educators in choosing to investigate ‘who they are’ as they seek to establish their identities and (re)define their roles. The first article describes a collaborative self-study examining teacher educators’ understandings of self and practice, employing a novel approach to data collection and analysis. In their article, ‘Letting the Light In: A Collaborative Self-Study of Practicum Mentoring’, Awneet Sivia, Sheryl MacMath and Vandy Britton (Canada) investigate their identities as mentors, teacher educators and colleagues as they introduce a practicum innovation into their teacher education program. In order to honor the diverse and collaborative nature of their data, these authors employed the methodological tool of braiding that enabled them to create a more complex and complete representation of their experiences and insights. The authors propose the use of metaphorical tools such as braiding that can allow for different voices and data sets to be more equitably valued in self-study research. The next two articles continue the theme of examining personal and professional identity growth through collaborative self-study, although each begins from a different place in the life course. In their article, ‘It’s Definitely Something You Have to Work Towards: A First-year Female Faculty Member’s Attempt at Role Management’, Kelsey McEntyre, Victoria Shiver and Kevin Andrew Richards (USA) employed an adaptation perspective on role theory to investigate how Kelsey navigated her work and non-work roles as a new faculty member, wife and first-time mother. Role theory adopts a theatre metaphor to explain how individuals are expected to act based on the roles they play in society. Their study affirmed the importance of feeling comfortable to be vulnerable within a critical friendship, thereby enhancing the self-study process by allowing indepth conversations to occur. Following this article, Amon Glasser (Israel) examined the shaping of his academic identity through drawing on childhood episodes of formal and non-formal learning in his article, ‘Autoethnography of Childhood Memories: Clarifying and Enhancing Auto-Pedagogical Identity’. Together with two critical friends, he sought to understand how his early life episodes have served as shaping influences on his pedagogical beliefs, principles and practices as a teacher educator.
