GIVING STUDENT LEARNING CENTER STAGE

Abstract

Transformational teaching and learning may become a process of evocation if the teaching-learning relationship begins in the students' own stories. Such a process is inductive, personal, and critical. I tell the story of my transformation from a kind-hearted, liberal, teacher-centered professor to a democratic, student-centered one. Three student stories describe how my individual work with graduate students writing theses continues to move me toward a more empowering pedagogy — one that gives student learning center stage.Copyright of Reflections: Narratives of Professional Helping is the property of Cleveland State University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.However, users may print, download, or email articles for individual use.Copyright of Reflections: Narratives of Professional Helping is the property of Cleveland State University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.
