Krishnamurti as a Teacher Educator: An Inquiry Into Pedagogical Praxis

• In Event: Teaching, Learning, Empowering: Profiles of Educators

Abstract

In this paper about J. Krishnamurti, I examine his life as an educator. While several biographies of Krishnamurti exist, they do not focus much on Krishnamurti, the educator, despite his having founded several schools around the world.This paper examines his published and unpublished discussions with teachers in order to examine his ideas on teacher education and to specific pedagogies. The study points to the possibility of biographical inquiry projects to broaden the scope of teacher education into the realm of creative inquiry. (83 words)
