Cohen Cynthia Z. - Applying Dialogic Pedagogy A Case Study Of Discussion - Based Teaching - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Recent academic research criticizes the effectiveness of traditional lecturing methods and instead shows the pedagogical effectiveness of active learning methods especially discussion - based education. Drawing on the dialogic writings of Bakhtin Freire and Habermas this study reviews the five primary themes cited in active learning research: improvements in student concentration; socialization in disciplinary norms; scaffolding towards higher critical thinking; inclusion of non - traditional learning styles; and reduction of student absenteeism. Testing these findings in a discussion - based undergraduate college education classroom this study finds significant improvements towards higher critical thinking skills increased student concentration and reduced student absenteeism. However the study finds questionable effectiveness of discussion - based teaching for socializing undergraduate college education students in disciplinary norms.
