Dialogic learning

Learning conceptions of industrial society, by emphasising students' intrapsychological dimension, have forgotten the dialogic dimension. At present, the dialogic learning approach, developed from and for information society, focuses on the intersubjective learning dimension. It is a useful scientific framework to explain how people can learn more and do so better. In addition, the dialogic learning approach works as a frame of reference in the design of learning environments that promote such interactions. In the article, we explain what dialogic learning is, and its seven principles are detailed, illustrated with examples from the learning communities where these principles are translated into practice, which lead to improvements in students' learning, in creating meaning, and in coexistence.
