The Dialogical Self Theory in Education: A Multicultural Perspective (Cultural Psychology of Education) ebook

This edited volume of ?The Dialogical Self Theory in Education: A Multicultural Perspective (Cultural Psychology of Education)? offers cross-cultural and cross-country applications of Dialogical Self Theory within the field of education. It combines the work of internationally recognized authors to demonstrate how theoretical and practical innovations emerge at the highly fertile interface of internal and external dialogues. The Theory, developed by Hubert Hermans and his colleagues in the past twenty five years, responds fruitfully to the issue of educational experts hitherto working in splendid isolation and does so by combining 2 aspects of Dialogical Self Theory: the dialogue?among?individuals as well as dialogical processes?within?individuals, in this context students and teachers.It is the first book in which Dialogical Self Theory is applied to the field of education. In 13 chapters, authors from different cultures and continents produce theoretical considerations and a wide variety of practical procedures showing that this interface is an ideal ground for the production of new theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches that enrich the work of educational researchers and specialists. Practitioners, academics, and postgraduate students in the field of education, particularly those who are interested in the innovative and community-enhancing potentials of dialogue, will find this valuable and informative.? Ultimately the work presented here is intended to inspire more self-reflection and creative ways to engage in new conversations that can respond to real-world issues and in which education can play a more vital role.The Dialogical Self Theory in Education: A Multicultural Perspective (Cultural Psychology of Education)Editors: Frans Meijers, Hubert HermansSeries:?Cultural Psychology of Education (Book 5) Publisher:?Springer; 1st 2018 edition (October 24, 2017)Language:?English
