In order to clearly understand how her pedagogy had changed with the use of drama as inquiry, the author focused retrospectively on her pedagogical transformation from the beginning of her teaching career as well as on her current teaching of an inquiry unit with three first grade classes. The author’s data were comprised of her student teaching logs, teaching logs, lesson reflections, lesson plans, and her primary source, a journal.The author found that her pedagogy was effected in the following ways: (1) The author was able to incorporate student’s interests, and give them more power and authority in the classroom and their own learning. (2) The author found that inquiry broadened and could even confirm or change students perspectives, ideas and opinions. (3) The author found the focus of her lessons changed from planning a group of activities to planning an inquiry question that everything was centered around. (4) The author found that her planning had changed from a very detailed, rigid plan to a more open ended style that accepted student input and suggestions. (5) The author found that she had begun teaching with a purpose in mind and an awareness of how the content or question was relevant to her students lives. 2001 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392106870 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1392106870 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
