Educational practice today often fails to make the crucial distinction between learning as an accumulation of information and learning as a dialogical interaction that elicits one s personal response to the material. Learning Through Dialogue offers an alternative approach to teaching and learning, which utilizes Martin Buber s dialogical principles: turning toward, addressing affirmatively, listening attentively, and responding responsibly. The book first presents Buber s educational theory and method and second presents specific examples of how Buber s dialogical philosophy can be applied in the classroom. Rather than imposing one s own views, this approach enables teachers and students to develop course content in uniquely appropriate ways. If you are a teacher, a student, an educator at any level, or anyone interested in furthering his or her ability to engage more meaningfully with the educational process, this book will challenge you with fresh perspectives.
