Abstract
Drawing from Ted T. Aoki’s and John Dewey’s educational philosophies, I share a collection of erasure poems and reflective narratives to explore teaching as an ever-present process, a pedagogical way of be(com)ing. Theoretically framed by Dewey’s theories on experience and education and Aoki’s notions on the true meaning of teaching, I discuss my (un)learning journey of what it means to be(come) in presence with my students.
With those ideas in mind, this paper is organized into the following five concepts: pedagogical presentness, pedagogical watchfulness, pedagogical thoughtfulness, pedagogical truthfulness, and pedagogical beingness. With layered voices of Aoki and Dewey, I evoke new possibilities, questions, and ways of (re)creating more meaningful teaching and learning moments.
