| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to follow one teacher's evolution toward effective teaching. The autobiographical case study with self-reflective analysis follows the teacher's progress from his first experiences as a student through college, graduate school, student teaching and his first two years of teaching. Introspection through reflection is used to evaluate the teaching practice of the teacher for the purpose of improvement. Constructivism is used as a referent. The conclusion finds four main assertions: effective teaching promotes students learning, the philosophy of constructivism promotes effective teaching, effective teaching deals with areas outside the curriculum, and effective teaching is time consuming and difficult. === A Thesis submitted to the Department of Middle and Secondary Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. === Fall Semester, 2004. === October 8, 2004. === Case Study, Autobiography, Autoethnography, Constructivism, Teacher Effectiveness === Includes bibliographical references. === Alejandro J.
