| description | Adapting a Living Educational Theory Research methodology, I
discuss how my teaching, my learning, and my research
contributed to the enhancement of joyful teaching and learning
in a university classroom. I share my own living-educationaltheory that influenced me, my colleagues, students, and the
university culture. Inspired by Bhagavad Gita and using a
participatory action research design and dialogue method, I
collected and analyzed data from reflective journals,
presentations, assignments, and blog writing. In this paper, I
present a cluster of five context-responsive approaches
(voluntary participation, valuing a sense of wonderment,
respecting interdependence, enhancing the Culture of Inquiry,
and adapting aesthetic inquiry) as I answer the question: How
can I enhance joyful teaching and learning in my graduate
classes? Finally, I share three prerequisites and a challenge of
promoting joyful teaching and learning in higher educational
contexts. |
