本論文研究者以一位資深教師的角色,探討生命旅程中為人妻、為人母及為人師的歷程。 在每個生涯規劃出現「矛盾」與「挫折」時,心靈總會做一些調適;在每次即將偏離「教學初衷」時,透過省思、藉由敘說,探究自己的心路變化。 研究者從敘事探究中更了解自我,並期許成為優秀的教育工作者。在服務過程裡,從學生與自己相互影響中,發現自我的價值。教學經歷中,學會等待學生,同理學生行為背後渴望被理解的內心。 在教學生涯中,研究者的弱點不斷被揭示出來。藉教學歷程和省思,為曾經失落的過去找到出口,啟動未來重新得力的生命能量。
The thesis was written by a senior elementary school teacher who was seeking to investigate her multiple roles as a wife, a mother, and a teacher in her career. Whenever encountering "contradiction" and "frustration" during career planning, she inevitably has to adjust her inner self to fit the real world. Whenever deviated from her "original intention of teaching," she always delves into the dribs and drabs of her psychological journey through reflective narratives. Through the narrative process, the researcher has been able to understand herself more deeply and become a better educator. During her career, she learns from teacher-student interactions, and through reflection and narration she recovers her identify and worth as being a teacher. In every step of life, there would be “contradictions” and “turning points. ”To make meaning out of these life experiences, one needs to revalue his/her own “original intention” .While teaching, Lily learns to be patient with students and their juvenile delinquencies, and knows that what lies beneath these deviant behaviors is indeed a longing for understanding and empathy. From time to time, within the inherently reflective and reflexive career of an educator, Lily sincerely brings her weaknesses in teaching to life and demystifies her preconceived ideas of teaching. In the grand tour of one’s educational pursuits, reflective and reflexive thinking in action research helps the researcher-teacher to reclaim the original intention long lost in time and restore the youthful enthusiasm of teaching in years to come.
