Ways of Enhancing Harmony among Teachers and Students: A Critical Reflection

Ways of enhancing harmony among teachers and students seem to be overlooked areas of research. This study aimed to enhance the pedagogical shift from traditional lecture-based teaching and learning practices toward integrated STEAM approaches among teachers. This is my critical reflective study foreground on my MPhil study, which adapted participatory action research design to enhance teachers' harmony in a private school in Nepal. I adapted reflections, observations, and interactions as data generation methods. The study explored four ways of enhancing harmony among teachers and students: joyful learning, contextualized teaching, ICT-integrated learning, and valuing emotions that contributed to the transformation of teachers’ pedagogical practices.
