摘要

This paper examines failure in pedagogy and baseball; how it is experienced by teachers and ball players, and how the discourses surrounding failure in education ask teachers to do the impossible—teach in the absence of failure. Failure is inherent to baseball, pedagogy, and life itself, and we aim to offer visions of pedagogy that are sustained by relationality and the latent possibilities of an unfolding present-future. Primarily, we explore A) what the inherent presence of failure in baseball can disclose about coping with failure, and B) the extent to which alternative visions of education and pedagogy can generatively trouble the zero-sum failure discourses that feel overwhelmingly present in education.
