Abstract
In this paper, as three special education teachers of varied experiential background, we inquire into our conception of special education and its shaping through narrative inquiry (Connelly & Clandinin, 1988; Clandinin & Connelly, 2000). We adopt Clandinin and Connelly’s (2000) view that “narrative inquiry is a way of understanding experience” (p. 20). As all of us have acquired much teaching experience in special education, we aim at exploring into our conception of special education and its formulation from a narrative and experiential approach. It is anticipated that our inquiry will inform the field of special education in terms of the conception of special education, the implementation of special education and teacher education in special education.
