Abstract
This chapter narrates the background of an exploratory single-case study with an emphasis on highlighting how the involvement of a pre-K-12 teacher in research was managed and how she played a critical role by actively engaging in self-reflection to generate data on the evolving nature of her motivation in the context of self-initiated professional development (PD). The focal participant (Meysa) has both contributed self-reflection data and took part in the write-up of the chapter.
