Papers Session: Teaching Tactics
Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)
Teaching and Learning literature often underscores the value of inviting students to connect what they know to previous experiences as well as sociality and what Eyler (2018) calls "beautiful questions" as beneficial for learning (Rovai 2022, Cozolino 2013, Bandura 1977, Vygotsky 1980). This quick demonstration will introduce "dialogic moments" as a way of connecting students to course content and each other at the beginning of a class.
After opening the session with a dialogic question meant to demonstrate the approach, participants will be invited to think of one question appropriate for their context and field test it in small groups in the room.
