Appearing Pedagogy: From Embodied Learning and Teaching to Embodied Pedagogy
Dixon, Mary; Senior, Kim
Pedagogy, Culture and Society, v19 n3 p473-484 2011
In this paper images are used to support the conceptualisation and recognition of embodied pedagogy. Analysis of data gathered during an arts-based teaching project in pre-service teacher education revealed the presence of an embodied pedagogy and supports the further deployment of embodied teaching and learning in teacher education. Embodied pedagogy includes embodied teaching and embodied learning but is conceptualised through "pedagogy as relational"--between teaching and learning and between teacher and learner. Through image this paper presents traces of embodied pedagogy from the classroom. These tracings of embodied pedagogy in classrooms defy baseline certainty and instead assert Benjamin's thesis that knowledge can only "stand up" through multiplicity, through all acts of knowing.
