An Arts-Based Approach to Conceptual Educational Practice
Nickerson-Crowe, Kate
Canadian Journal of Education, v28 n3 2005
I present autobiographical writing and photographic imaging, an arts-based research methodology, to understand my personal knowledge as a means to understand my professional knowledge. Using my passions for writing and photography, I explore the conflicts, opportunities, and purposes of using a visual form of arts-based narrative inquiry from a postmodern perspective. I demonstrate that the relationship between arts-based narrative inquiry and educator/research reflexivity and transformation allows educators to focus their passions towards a greater understanding of what it means to teach.
