- Summary
- The process of this research itself is a transitional experience for me in becoming an art teacher educator, through working with/for becoming-art teachers in the Advanced Practicum (A ED 489) at Penn State University. Working, learning, and researching in the course as a graduate teaching assistant for four years became part of everyday life during my doctoral course. Moreover, meeting both the pre-service teachers and their students together in Saturday Art Classes helped me to recollect my own lived experience as a student, pre-service teacher, teacher, and teacher-researcher in diverse places of learning and teaching art in a more critical eye. This condition motivated me to conduct this research: mapping the unknown placenever experienced beforeA ED 489, as a place, space(-time)s, and part of lived landscape of the professional development of both myself and the pre-service art teachers.Through participant-observation (including photography and video-recording) as everyday practices and using three geographical conceptsplace, space, and landscapeas different lenses, I map out the texture of A ED 489 and A ED 489-making process. First, using the idea of place as a way of making sense of self, practice, and others as community as three rhythms, I explore the possibilities and potentialities of the course for the professional development of becoming art teachers in my own understanding. Second, using the idea of space(-time), I, a moving self and full participant, investigate A ED 489-making process throughout the repetitive and cyclical curriculum practices with the pre-service art teachers and the faculty. Third, I conduct narrative-mapping-interviews in order to bring light how each participant embodied A ED 489-experience as a whole and related diverse curriculum space(-time)s to each other. Throughout this research, I understand that mapping functions as both a method of rhythmanalysis in space(-time)s of becoming and a metaphor of participants inhabitant knowledge exploring A ED 489-experience as a temporal lived landscape, making a bridge between the previous and the future experiences for becoming art teacher (educator).
