This article investigates the influences on a teacher’s uncertainty through the use of
storyline methodology. As a research method, storylines can be utilised to educe a
teacher’s responses to inquiries into their practice. The particular storylines in this article
are drawn from the uncertainty work of Floden and Clark (1988) and reflect aspects of
teaching that are of concern to all teachers: content knowledge, assessment, teaching and
learning and knowledge. By drawing these storylines together, we present two key findings
to our research question: ‘how does a teacher accept uncertainties in his teaching, and how
does that acceptance interact with his implementation of a new course?’ Our analysis
suggests that a teacher’s continued professional learning is underpinned by an acceptance
of uncertainty in their teaching. Further, the analysis highlights the value of a culture of
long-term professional learning that allows teachers to respond positively to uncertainties
that are important to them. This suggests that a science department that is committed to
questioning practice may provide many of the supports that teachers need to pursue their
own questioning of practice.
