Abstract

An under-explored issue in teacher education is the active documentation of pedagogical usage after initial training and practice implementation have been completed. In this phenomenological study, the researcher contacted previous graduate students who earned a teaching-endorsement credential for working with Gifted/Talented learners to explore the application of a pedagogical method developed specifically to shift from teacher-directed to student-engaged pedagogy. Common impediments to pedagogical change are described and discussed. Participants did overcome impediments, changing their pedagogical approach from teacher-directed to student-engaged approaches over time. Each shared their particular circumstances for needing to change their teaching approach. But in all instances, student performance and outcomes drove and supported the continued expansion of the change process. Future empirical work in teacher development and in-service pedagogical change based on results is suggested to further this line of inquiry.
