Abstract

This study examined the recognition and perceived significance of presence in teaching among secondary school teachers (N = 258) using a narrative vignettes instrument. Results showed that on average, secondary teachers experience presence in teaching in more than half of their lessons. They consider presence in teaching to be associated with the essence of teaching, and relevant for gratifying teaching experiences and for students’ development as whole persons. This study contributes to refining a conceptualization of presence in teaching grounded in daily educational practice and provides teachers with language and knowledge to use in reflecting on their teaching practice.
