ABSTRACT

Research in academic development more often articulates stories of success than of failure in our practice. Using a self-study methodology involving written reflections and analysis of recorded conversations, this article explores how two mid-career developers define and learn from feelings of failure in the context of group facilitation. Through reflection and discussion as critical friends, we identified a series of tensions that shape our work and our identities as developers. How we reflect upon and navigate through these potentially uncomfortable places has implications for how we reframe our feelings of failure and evolve our practice.

摘要

学术发展方面的研究更多地阐述了成功的故事，而不是失败的故事。本文使用一种涉及书面思考和对记录的对话进行分析的自学方法，探讨了两个职业中期开发人员如何在团队促进的背景下定义失败的感觉并从中学习。通过作为关键朋友的反思和讨论，我们发现了一系列紧张关系，这些紧张关系影响了我们的工作和我们作为开发人员的身份。我们如何思考和浏览这些可能不舒服的地方，对我们如何重新构造失败感并发展我们的做法有影响。
