博士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 教育學系博士班 === 101 === Beginning from a teacher’s narrating of living experiences, this journey aims to explore a set of attitudes and virtues for the teacher to move on without guilt. After identifying the school work is deeply rooted in the cycle of educational "reproduction", the teacher transforms to a different position, recalled by the view of “in loco parenits”, and settles down to reflect and practice. In the process of reconstructing teacher’s value, the researcher finds that: the practicing of "in loco parentis" generates "surrogate siblings" inadvertently. And the greatest strength to resist "reproduction" lies in the spontaneous love of "surrogate siblings". At last, the researcher tries to imagining the fusion of “reproduction” and “in loco parentis” as well. This journey also reveals: every moment in our life is a creation of text, consciously becoming stories one after another and then gaining self-awareness to face the external world is a clear path toward practicing. Thereby curriculum is the encounters between children and teacher, and the shared living experience is the shared learning curriculum. This kind of text is surrounded by the delivery, composition and reconstruction of living experiences. This kind of text is also a journey in which children and teacher grow together.
