Dialogic: Education for the Internet Age argues that despite rapid
advances in communications technology, most teaching still relies on
traditional approaches to education, built upon the logic of print,
and dependent on the notion that there is a single true representation
of reality. In practice, the use of the Internet disrupts this
traditional logic of education by offering an experience of knowledge
as participatory and multiple. This new logic of education is dialogic
and characterises education as learning to learn, think and thrive in
the context of working with multiple perspectives and ultimate
uncertainty. The book builds upon the simple contrast between
observing dialogue from an outside point of view, and participating in
a dialogue from the inside, before pinpointing an essential feature of
dialogic: the gap or difference between voices in dialogue which is
understood as an irreducible source of meaning. Each chapter of the
book applies this dialogic thinking to a specific challenge facing
education, re-thinking the challenge and revealing a new theory of
education. Areas covered in the book include: dialogical learning and
cognition dialogical learning and emotional intelligence educational
technology, dialogic ‘spaces’ and consciousness global dialogue
and global citizenship dialogic theories of science and maths
education The challenge identified in Wegerif’s text is the growing
need to develop a new understanding of education that holds the
potential to transform educational policy and pedagogy in order to
meet the realities of the digital age. Dialogic: Education for the
Internet Age draws upon the latest research in dialogic theory,
creativity and technology, and is essential reading for advanced
students and researchers in educational psychology, technology and
policy.
