Ian Wilson completed a successful career as a primary school teacher before moving to teach on the Primary Education degree at York St John University. He teaches across both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes teaching the subject knowledge and pedagogy of mathematics, science and computing. Initially, his research focused on the use of technology, but now his research focus is exploring the transformative journey of the primary school teacher to teacher educator in university. His research strategy focuses on the narrative using both autoethnography and narrative enquiry. He acknowledges himself as a reflective new researcher who is exploring the world of academia through self-narration and personal reflection.
