Abstract
v=This dissertation is a report of a qualitative study of learning on a very small scale through practice
and research in education at Khula Mlambo Primary School in South Africa. I took a narrative selfstudy
approach to research, exploring my lived experience of learning as a practitioner researcher in
my field of practise with the aim of establishing and improving organisational learning in the school.
The dissertation traces the development of my key research question and it follows the research
design. I have represented the data in a narrative self- study research approach and have engaged
with the data I generated from my experience of learning from the questionnaire I administered.
Through this dissertation I hope to contribute to the continuous process of development, learning
and exploration of alternative forms of data representation in education and leadership. The
conceptualisation of my learning research experience as a learning engagement offers an alternative
way of looking at research in leadership in the field of education. The dissertation also raises the
issue of the influence of continuous learning which seeks to explore and value the leader in the
context of lived relational leadership experience.
