THE GROWTH OF EDUCATIONAL KNOWLEDGE - CREATING YOUR OWN LIVING EDUCATIONAL THEORIES. Part One, 1973 to 1993.
(The Growth of Educational Knowledge was
originally published by Hyde Publications in 1993)
The story of my
educational development is focused on two connected threads of my life of
educational enquiry.The first is my experience of existing as a living
contradiction within the disciplinary and legitimating powers of my workplace,
the University of Bath. The second is my published papers. You can access both
the papers and narrative below. The published papers are in italics, the
narratives in bold. The paper on Creating a Living Educational Theory from
Questions of the Kind, 'How do I improve my practice?', from a 1989 issue of
the Cambridge Journal of Education, is perhaps the most influential of these
publications. For the sake of completeness I have also included as an Appendix
my 1988 Presidential Address to the British Educational Research Association.
This was not included in the original text of the growth of educational
knowledge.
