Summary of contents
This unique resource will enable you to delve straight into working with dilemmas and develop a practice that involves both reflection and action in equal measure. It does this by allowing you to expose your students to enquiries into a number of difficult choices based upon real life.
The book is split into four sections, each of which will help to encourage a critical understanding of the dilemma-based learning techniques and how they can be developed and used in the classroom. Dilemma-based learning is an approach that can be used in a range of situations, including whole-class contexts and enrichment or extension withdrawal groups.
