Engaging Student Voices in the Study of Teaching and Learning
“Engaging Student Voices in the Study of Teaching and Learningillustrates the pedagogical power of extending the teaching and learning relationship to form an engaged and interactive partnership inside and outside the classroom. Not only does this book ground the practices of engaging students in developing and implementing the learning process theoretically, it illustrates the successes and challenges of establishing a shared responsibility for conceptualizing and constructing knowledge and ways of knowing. A must read for those teachers seeking to increase student engagement and to enhance each student’s self-authorship in the learning process.""Readers will bring their own experiences, questions, even skepticism to this collection, but we hope they will take from it, as we do, an expanded and more nuanced sense of the roles that students can play in this work, and a renewed sense of hope and possibility for how this work can enrich the educational experience of students—and teachers—as well. What is clear is the power for students and faculty alike of looking closely at the twists and turns, the messy, emergent business of moving from not knowing to fuller understanding."
