In the 21st century, information literacy emerges as the cornerstone of educational development. Despite its paramount significance, a stark reality persists — students often traverse the corridors of academia without acquiring essential information literacy skills. This deficiency is exacerbated by a shortage of faculty training, leaving academic libraries to shoulder the responsibility of cultivating information-savvy individuals. Examining Inquiries of Pedagogical Shifts and Critical Mindsets Among Educators delves into unexplored pedagogy through a compendium of original research studies. The focus is on narrative inquiries, case studies, and phenomenological investigations, offering a nuanced understanding of pedagogical shifts and critical mindsets among P-16 educators. Inspired by Novoa's conceptualization of "Tipping Points," the book unfolds the narratives and lived experiences that propel educators toward transformative shifts in their teaching methodologies.

Contrary to conventional pedagogical research, which often compartmentalizes knowledge into static spheres, this book champions the idea that teaching is an inherently narrative journey. Drawing from narrative inquiry, educators share their stories, providing a rich tapestry of experiences that inform their daily decisions in the classroom. This unique perspective transcends traditional boundaries of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), offering a holistic view of pedagogical development.
