Revisiting the Pedagogy and Theory Corral: Creative Writing Pedagogy Teachers’ Conceptions of Pedagogic Identity

Abstract

This article, based on a panel presentation delivered at the 2015 Conference on College Composition and Communication in Tampa, Florida, describes an on-going study of the conceptions of creative writing pedagogy teachers regarding creative writing teachers and teaching. Using a phenomenographic approach, the study reveals five broad categories of pedagogic identity: Expert Practitioner, Facilitator, Change Agent, Co-Constructor of Knowledge, and Vocational Coach. This framework of pedagogic identity can serve as an instrument for explaining tensions and contradictions between and within conceptions and practices of teaching creative writing and creative writing pedagogy.
