In this book, the author offers beginning and veteran teachers an original and inspiring interpretation of the notion of pedagogy, one that searches for its roots in the experience in loco parentis.  The author defines pedagogical reflection as the endeavor to influence the good effect that teachers may have on children; pedagogical thoughtfulness is the way that educators grow, change, and deepen their sense of self as the result of reflecting on living with children; and pedagogical tactfulness is the increased sensitivity that educators demonstrate as they deal with young people in everyday educational situations.

Researching Lived Experience introduces an approach to qualitative research methodology in education and related fields that is distinct from traditional approaches derived from the behavioral or natural sciences--an approach rooted in the "everyday lived experience" of human beings in educational situations. Rather than relying on abstract generalizations and theories, van Manen offers an alternative that taps the unique nature of each human situation.
