Dialogue in Teaching: Theory and Practice

by Nicholas C. Burbules

This work offers a detailed examination of the theory and practice of dialogue as a cluster of related dialogical styles and approaches and not just as one entity. The author offers a critical and conceptual study of the nature of dialogue, and a discussion of concrete issues in teaching with how it works, why it is beneficial for teaching, how it sometimes fails, and how to improve on it. Organising his book around the metaphor of playing a game, Burbules speaks to scholars and teachers in sophisticated, yet accessible language, about a topic of interest to both.

No lo terminé y solo lo leí por arriba. Me alcanza para desrecomendarlo. Mucha más teoría falopa que práctica. Entiendo por qué Yisu Z. le puso 4 estrellas, tiene un punto interesante en su reseña, pero no lo comparto

一份关于对话和教学的当代解读。原创性方面一般，但写作很清晰。串联了Vygotsky, Bakhtin, Freire 。时代印记明显。
