Using Discussions as a Way of Teaching - Vortrag von Prof. Dr. Stephen Brookfield am 27. Juli
04.07.2022
Prof. Dr. Stephen Brookfield, Professor der Erwachsenenbildung, wird zeigen, wie Diskussionen wirksam, fair und inklusiv in der Lehre gestaltet werden können, um kritisches Denken zu fördern und effektiv Lernprozesse zu aktivieren.
Die Veranstaltungsbeschreibung lautet wie folgt:
Discussions are often viewed as a matter of mystery and magic - a chemistry that combusts, or a fire that ignites, as people come together to consider matters of mutual concern. In point of fact, well prepared and conducted discussions can be a very powerful medium for fostering critcial thinking, exploring new ideas and perspectives, activating knowledge or creating an inclusive and appreciative atmosphere for study. But discussions can also be counterfeit, manipulative, governed by a regime of truth enforced by judges of normality (Foucault). In this presentation Stephen Brookfield will explore how to set up effective discussions that enhance learning and try to implement greater equity and inclusion. Participants will have the chance to try out some of these activities.
