商品簡介
Benson (curriculum and instruction, Southern Arkansas U.) asks whether we should structure and render all experience into reason and order. She finds that artificial educational constructions that do not factor in the love inherent in human learning are exclusionary, and not sensitive to the learning that really goes on during encounter and response. She advocates going beyond the rigidity of teaching by the numbers and going into the real "comfort zone" of exploring in autobiography why people go into teaching for the love of it, for the love of learning, and for the love of students. She explains the benefits of the autobiographical approach and how it relates to phenomenology in curriculum, the transformative value of hermeneutic experience, recovering conversations of volition, mapping, speaking the experiences, and offering curriculum-as-lived pedagogy.
