| Summary | This course is concerned with processes of working and learning in groups in a context where social injustice requires sharply focused and robust educational responses. Students will gain a critical understanding of key aspects of individual and collective approaches to teaching and learning and gain knowledge and experience of a range of methods, from person-centred to social action approaches, and techniques involved in anti-discriminatory practice. In particular, participants will consider how groupwork can be dialogical or invasive, and how it can foster the capacity for critical thinking and dialogue and enable learners to develop strategies, tactics and practices to bring about desired change. The course will cover the theory and practice of investigation as a means of developing informal education in communities. |
