Based upon ethnographic analyses of three beginning architectural design studios, Mirochnik skillfully dissects the theories of knowledge at play on the part of the design instructors and their consequences for both student and teacher learning. Mirochnik shows how all teaching is based on some theory, but more, he shows how too many teaching practices are based upon some very old assumptions about the formation of knowledge that actually resist the development of new pedagogies. A provocative read. (Thomas A. Dutton, Department of Architecture, Miami University, Ohio) In 'Teaching in the First Person', Elijah Mirochnik expands our understanding of the potential of pedagogical reflection by making thoughtful and often surprising connections between players' report of teaching and learning and well-known theories of metaphor and thought. Against the backdrop of studio learning in a school of architecture, Mirochnik analyzes the nuances of voice of three instructors and uncovers the relationship within and among their respective perspectives and the theories of knowledge that drive his inquiry. Likening his process to the balance of elements in a Calder mobile, Mirochnik artfully strings together the elements of observation, interaction, analysis, metaphor, expectation, relationship, and context. In doing so, he illuminates practice for both the subjects and the readers of this most engaging investigation. (Jessica Hoffmann Davis, Lecturer on Education and Director of the Art Education Program, Harvard Graduate School of Education) Author InformationThe Author: Elijah Mirochnik is Assistant Professor in the Creative Arts in Learning Division at Lesley College in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
