Abstract
Teaching is more complex than what it appears to be; it is problematic by nature and requires a high degree of professional knowledge and skill. So how did I arrive at this understanding, how has this thinking changed my professional practice; and, how has this thinking positioned me as a teacher researcher? This chapter sets out to explore these issues through my experience as a teacher researcher.
