Teacher research narrative

The Inevitability and Importance of Genres in Narrative Research on
Teaching Practice

Jerry Rosiek and Becky Atkinson

Qualitative Inquiry, Vol. 13, No. 4, 499-521 (2007)


The authors examine the field of contemporary teacher knowledge^ research. Specifically, they examine the use of narrative representations^ by researchers in this field. They make a general argument for^ the development of distinct narrative genres in teacher knowledge^ research because considerations of distinct genre styles can^ help researchers refine their craft and can inform the development^ of appropriate standards by which different forms of narrative^ research might be judged. Building on this argument, they offer^ an outline of the features of some genres that seem to be currently^ emerging in teacher knowledge writings. The article closes with^ an examination of the implications the emergence of narratives^ genres would have for teacher education research.^
