Résumé

Drawing from Narrative Theory, Reflexive Inquiry, and Critical Pedagogy, the intent of this article is to position narrative as perspective and process that, together, help construct theoretically new ways of conceptualising and practising learning. My aim, then, is to present narrative as a methodology that brings together theory and practice in a space where readers might reflexively examine the experiences that inform their own education perspectives. Pervasive and recurring is the centrality of lived experience. Specific questions include: “What does a critically-framed reflexive narrative methodology uniquely contribute to understanding teaching and learning?”, and “How does remembering self in teaching and learning moments construct educational perspectives through narrative?”
