{"product_id":"narrative-learning","title":"Narrative Learning","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is the role of narrative in how people learn throughout their lives?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAre there different patterns and forms of narrativity? How do they influence learning?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on data gathered for the \u003cem\u003eLearning Lives\u003c\/em\u003e project, which sought to understand learning by questioning individuals about their life stories, this book seeks to define a new learning theory which focuses on the role of narrative and narration in learning. Through a number of detailed case-studies based on longitudinal interviews conducted over three and four-year periods with a wide range of life story informants, \u003cem\u003eNarrative Learning\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the role of narrative and narration in an individual’s learning and understanding of how they act in the world. The authors explore a domain of learning and human subjectivity which is vital but currently unexplored in learning and teaching and seek to re-position learning within the ongoing preoccupation with identity and agency. The ‘interior conversations’ whereby a person defines their personal thoughts and courses of action and creates their own stories and life missions, is situated at the heart of a person’s map of learning and understanding of their place in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe insights presented seek to show that most people spend a significant amount of time rehearsing and recounting their life-story, which becomes a strong influence on their actions and agency, and an important site of learning in itself. \u003cem\u003eNarrative Learning\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to shift the focus of learning from the prescriptivism of a strongly defined curriculum to accommodate personal narrative styles and thereby encourage engagement and motivation in the learning process. Hence the book has radical and far-reaching implications for existing Governmental policies on school curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will be of particular interest to professionals, educational researchers, policy-makers, undergraduate and postgraduate learners and all of those involved with education theory, CPD, adult education and lifelong learning. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45590383591662,"sku":"9780415488945","price":72.79,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415488945.jpg?v=1721233753","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/narrative-learning","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
