| description | In November 2014 on the Dialogic Pedagogy Journal Facebook page, there was an interesting discussion of the issue of values in dialogic pedagogy<a title="" href="file:///C:/Users/Eugene/Documents/Manuscripts/Values%20in%20dialogic%20pedagogy.2014/Values%20in%20dialogic%20pedagogy,%20draft%237,%20final,%202015-01-29.docx#_ftn1">[1]</a>. The main issue can be characterized as the following. Should dialogic pedagogy teach values? Should it avoid teaching values? Is there some kind of a third approach? The participants of the Facebook discussions were focusing on <em>teaching values</em> in dialogic pedagogy and not about teaching <em>about</em>values. On the one hand, it seems to be impossible to avoid teaching values. However, on the other hand, shaping students in some preset molding is apparently non-dialogic and uncritical (Matusov, 2009). In the former case, successful teaching is defined by how well and deeply the students accept and commit to the taught values. In the latter case, successful dialogic teaching may be defined by students’ critical examination of their own values against alternative values in a critical dialogue. Below, Eugene Matusov and Jay Lemke, active participants of this Facebook dialogue, provide their reflection on this important issue and encourage readers to join their reflective dialogue.<div><br clear="all" /><hr align="left" size="1" width="33%" /><div><p><a title="" href="file:///C:/Users/Eugene/Documents/Manuscripts/Values%20in%20dialogic%20pedagogy.2014/Values%20in%20dialogic%20pedagogy,%20draft%237,%20final,%202015-01-29.docx#_ftnref1">[1]</a> See in a public Facebook domain: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DialogicPedagogyJournal/posts/894734337204533">https://www.facebook.com/DialogicPedagogyJournal/posts/894734337204533</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DialogicPedagogyJournal/posts/896916850319615">https://www.facebook.com/DialogicPedagogyJournal/posts/896916850319615</a></p></div></div> |
