ABSTRACT

This chapter is about relationships-between my developing knowledge of teaching and the methods I use to develop that knowledge, between innovative pedagogies and their impact on my teaching practice, and between my long-time critical friend, Tom Russell, and me. In this chapter I trace the development of my interest in using innovative pedagogies that support active learning in students. I also trace the development of my knowledge about teaching through action research and self-study as I strive to develop principles for teaching about teaching.
