Abstract
This is a story about working in the Faculty of Education at Deakin University Geelong in the 1980s and 1990s. I was a high school chemistry and biology teacher who got bored after five years, and decided to give higher education a go—when asked to teach educational research methodology at the local teachers’ college.
