Abstract
ABSTRACT This study addresses how problem-posing seminars provided room for preservice teachers (PSTs) to navigate the disconnect between theory and practice, facilitating reflection on their experiences, and fostering self-efficacy as novice English teachers. Viewing student teaching as identity construction, the authors applied the lens of Lensmire’s “voice as project” to written reflections of problem-posing seminar participation, exploring perceptions of self-efficacy in teaching. Written reflections indexed themes present in the larger data set generated from problem-posing seminars: the transitional nature of the student teacher field experience, the emerging reliance on a dialogic pedagogy, and their burgeoning sense of agency in the classroom. The problem-posing framework can be an integral scaffold supporting English teachers’ efforts to enact a dialogic pedagogy or other student-centered frameworks for teaching, establishing spaces where the mosaic of different facets of experience is valued and enables teacher and student alike to define their voices and determine their own trajectories.
