Making the Meaning of Ms. Zhong and Mr. Jackson’s Narratives
摘要
This chapter interprets the stories of Mr. Jackson and Ms. Zhong through the three-dimensional life space of temporality, sociality, and place. Both teachers experienced transformation as they engaged in cross-cultural exchanges, developing new ways of thinking about teaching, autonomy, and collaboration. Their narratives illustrate how professional identities evolve when teachers reflect critically on their practices within broader educational landscapes. The chapter highlights the interplay between “knowledge-for-teacher” and “teacher knowledge,” emphasizing the importance of lived experience in professional growth.
