Summary

"Education is often seen as the acquisition of specific knowledge and skills. In this insightful book, Rupert Wegerif proposes that it is also an ongoing dialogue that shapes our world and drives change. He presents a coherent, compelling theory of education addressing fundamental questions: What should we teach? How should we teach it? And, of course, why should we teach it? The key to effectively preparing students for the future, Wegerif argues, lies in framing education as the expansion of dialogue. The author illustrates how dialogue can enable students to move from procedural to conceptual understandings of a subject. Using extensive practical examples, chapters outline how to redesign education programmes to promote the moral and intellectual virtues that are essential to dialogue. Responding to the transformative effects of human activity on the Earth, as well as the challenges and opportunities posed by artificial intelligence (AI), this dialogic theory supports a form of education that will cultivate shared, collective intelligence and prepare young people to thrive as global citizens in a world that has never been more connected. Illustrating both theoretical and practical insights, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of education, as well as teachers at all levels. It is also a valuable read for educational technologists, and policy actors seeking to make informed decisions"-- Provided by publisher.
