Towards an authentic practice : a novice teacher’s transformative journey Tong, Joseph Paul

Abstract

This self-study follows my path as a beginning home economics teacher and teacher of everyday life in British Columbia. I will give insight into the context of my practice, as well as how facets of contemplative teaching and transformative learning have become guides for me to conceptualize authentic learning and teaching in the home economics classroom. The study uses stories, otherwise known as critical points, in exploring three events that have served as moments in transforming my practice thus far as a novice teacher. These particular critical points are meant to make sense of my journey as a reflective teacher and student interested in the transformative aspects of learning and teaching authentically. Each critical point will be deconstructed based on themes of purposing, learning, and questioning.
