November Selection: Discussion As A Way of Teaching, 2nd Edition
Stephen Brookfield and Stephen Preskill
In an effort to compliment this month’s Let’s Talk Teaching video feature on “The Art of Discussion Leading”, Brookfield and Preskill offer specific steps to planning, conducting and assessing classroom discussions. Specific topic areas include discussion through questioning, listening and responding; as applied to culturally diverse classrooms; discussing across gender differences; use of group discussion; creating conditions for online discussion and the role of theory in executing effective discussion practice.
Brookfield is Distinguished University Professor at the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. Preskill is Regents Professor of Education in the Department of Educational Leadership and Organizational Learning in the College of Education at the University of New Mexico. |
