Abstract:

Not only is the learning process likened to war, so is the act of teaching. Serving time in the trenches is so overused that I would argue it is fast becoming a frozen metaphor, or an expression that has lost its evocative power through excessive use. While it is not my intention to offer a treatise on the work of the Nobel Prize winner or to expound on the links between war and education, I am interested in exploring the resistance by public school and pre-service teachers to the generation and examination of theory and its subsequent penetration into pedagogical practice. If this site of opposition could be surmounted, higher education structures could be unified with those of school communities. Bridging the gap between education and life experiences, a predicament articulated by Hemingway, is one of the first steps to merging theory with practice. (p. 32)
