It's Better Than Discussion: Using Dialogue (Big “D”) to Enhance Student Engagement, Critical Tiniking, and Community

File pdf 237KB

Dialogue is a well-known but not often used technique for learning and discovery. Dialogue (not “dialogue”) encourages individual students to think more deeply and in the moment. It awakens them to pertinent trends in OB and to the concerns of their peers. The professor does not direct the conversation. Rather, our role is to deepen the dialogue by encouraging more introspection, paradigm examination, emotional engagement and critical thinking. In this session, participants will sample a Dialogue, then debrief. An experienced and a novice practitioner of Dialogue will share their insights and data.
