Perhaps it could be a measure of shift from beginning to end but I am more interested in the process and the learning. I believe that through dialogue with me and the other teachers over a year period will give many opportunities for all of us all to learn something. The activity of dialogue could be a catalyst for shifting of practice further. However the main goal is for us to understand the truth of the life-world that these particular teachers live. It is a particular truth that sits inside of a universal. I don’t think there is really any other way of coming to this sort truth. If it is written well others reading my work will be able to have their own dialogue and find their own truth from what I report. In my search for literature on this topic I have found a great deal on the barriers for teachers in shifting their practice. I have also found lots on the benefits of dialogical learning but not much on using dialogue to learn how teacher use technology.Nancy Stuewehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497552673173345189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6727679907475574683.post-72319040027105204362009-07-20T00:07:24.081-06:002009-07-20T00:07:24.081-06:00This description that you gave here really clarifi...This description that you gave here really clarified for me what you are trying to answer. It is a topic that I hadn't thought of before. I think being in my own little world with a closed set professional learning community I thought most teachers were trying to move to a 21st century model.<br /><br />One questions though. You mention "It is enough for me that they see themselves as trying to teach this way." I was wondering if it might be helpful for you to get copies of their lesson plans and have them rate which ones they thought were moving towards 21 C education (on a sliding scale). You could compare their answers with a rubric you've developed (or found) that does a proper measurement. Measure the two scores against each other to see if the teacher's understandings of 21 C education is correct.<br /><br />GregCaramat Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060438780417145275noreply@blogger.com
