Looking in the Mirror: Teachers' Use of Autobiography and Action Research to Improve Practice.
Davis, Nancy T.
Research in Science Education, v26 n1 p23-32 1996
Uses teachers' autobiographies and action research as data sources to present an argument for valuing subjective, reflective knowledge based on Habermas's category of cognitive interest of emancipatory knowing. Explores the process of personal empowerment and proposes a model of change that includes disturbance, alternatives, confidence, and action. Contains 25 references. (Author/JRH)
