Currere: A Process of Self-discovery

Pinar (1975) wrote The Method of Currere, a method that allows us to explore what we have conceptualized through time, the complex relation between the temporal and conceptual, thus we can discover our self, its evolution and education (p. 19).

After reading, The Method of Currere (Pinar,1975) reflect on the stages and discuss what you think the process will let you discover.
