Heather Ryan: Dialogic Construction of Meaning: Applying Theory to Teaching Large Classes
This session may be of interest to all who are encouraged/expected to teach large classes, to students or teaching assistants in a traditional large face-to-face class, or to administrators providing the resources to support instruction in large classes. This discussion and hands-on experience with the dialogic style may promote some strategies, while reporting students' perceptions of the use of dialogue and vignettes in constructing shared understanding of theory and its applications in teaching and personal development. The session will first describe the theory and some of the strategies that students consider enrich the meanings, relationships, and applications of human development theory to teaching and relationships of instructor(s) and students. Much of the session will involve application of the dialogic style to analysis of vignettes by the group to discover the rich, diverse meanings that many minds bring to such tasks.
