- Abstract
This research narratively explores an English teacher’s professional knowledge development by reflecting on the teacher’s experiences in different teaching communities. Based on the interviews and the conversational records, this research constructs how different teaching communities influence the teacher’s professional knowledge and cultivate their agency. The various contexts of challenging teaching have shaped the teacher’s experiences. The shifting experiences from rural to urban teaching communities have contributed to the teacher’s life, personally and professionally. Experiences that were talked about in the study revealed and changed beliefs and assumptions that had already been made about school authority and how it affects a teacher’s teaching ideology. This study gives us ideas about how we could change the way we think about the ideology of experienced and professional teachers.
