Teacher and Professional Development Teacher Agency In In-House Textbook Development: A Narrative Inquiry more

Sun, Nov 14, 15:25-15:50 Asia/Tokyo

This institution-based case study investigated teacher agency in an in-house textbook development process for a university-level English debate course. The study found that manifestations of teacher agency in the textbook production process were non-linear and adaptive due to the instructor’s in-person experiences and negotiations with her students and co-textbook writers, and her attempt to establish an alignment with a larger institutional context. The researchers discuss select results from a sociomaterial perspective to highlight important findings.
