Polyvocal Professional Learning through Self-Study Research

Part of the book series: Professional Learning ((PROFL))

My relationship with self-study started in the summer of 2007 when I enrolled in the self-study qualitative research methodology course during my doctoral journey. This course gave me an opportunity to reflect on the concept of the “self” within the context of a practitioner and to bridge the gap between theory and practice, to fully understand the situated knowledge of practice, and to explore and extend these new understandings in public ways (Loughran, 2007).
