| Abstract |
|
"Democracy in the classroom can mean many things. Here it means creating a learning environment in which students are participants, in which all positions are equally respected without necessarily being equally valued, and where the evaluation of varying positions takes place through critical, informed and knowledgeable dialogue. Additionally all participants in the dialogue should be willing to change or amend their points of view in light of new information and/or better and more persuasive arguments. This requires good listening skills, some ability to empathize or see things from another's point of view, and open-mindedness. The task of the instructor is threefold: (1) to bring relevant information and knowledge into the classroom as well as the tools by which students can acquire their own information, (2) to set the ground rules for mutually respectful dialogue, and (3) to provoke critical thinking among participants in the dialogue."
