Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper presents a performance text, crafted by university researchers and teachers from a primary school in China. The “embodied narrative” is explored as theory, method, practice, event, and action within this collaborative inquiry. Through vignettes, we delve into the positionalities of teachers and teacher educators, highlighting the fluidity between participant, researcher, and performer roles. Our endeavor challenges the dominance of textualism in educational research, emphasizing “culture as performance” and “practice as research.” This embodied narrative approach allows teachers and teacher educators to bridge theoretical and practical divides, merge personal and public realms, and take proactive actions.
