The narrative approach with Gen Y learners
Hello,
I am curious about the impact of dialogue that occurs in your classrooms, and the effective nature of this? I ask because in my years of working as a Psychology Instructor I have found it increasingly important to integrate a dialogue within the classroom that allows students to express their feelings, as well as to be able to reframe the course material into a context that is meaningful for the student. I evolved this strategy based on feedback from students, after taking this course it seems that this dialogue is relevant from a social scientific basis as well. I am curious about your experience integrating these types of shared dialogue of experiences within your classrooms.
Thank you, take care.
I have found that some students are just not comfortable with this given different levels of shyness etc... But, if the topic is "general" and doesn't involve too much personal perspective/feelings than it can be helpful. Every class is different.
