Teachers' Professional Learning in the Context of Implementing Project Based Learning in a Secondary School
Sivia, Awneet; Britton, Vandy
McGill Journal of Education, v56 n2-3 p123-141 2021
This study explores teachers' professional learning (TPL) in the context of a school-wide implementation of Project Based Learning (PBL).Using phenomenology, we studied the narratives of two teachers engaged in the implementation. The questions driving this research are: How do teachers conceptualize their learning as professionals involved in a curricular innovation (in this case, PBL)?; What shifts in practice and identity occur?; What concepts are central to teachers' professional learning?; and, What does this reveal about a stance of inquiry in professional learning? The analysis clarifies the nature of professional learning, which we articulate as a set of proposed concepts of TPL. Further connections are made between these findings about TPL and the theory of inquiry-as-stance
