  2. Abstract Narratives are many times the forgotten yet effective tools by which to facilitate and assess learning, Kegan and Lahey contend that how people talkcan change the listener’s encounter through the introduction of alternative views, different possibilities, and questions challenging the meaningspeople have personalized in their own experiences. Keywords: Kegan, Lahey, narratives, learning, teaching

  4. Theoretical Basis • The way students talk can change the way they work. • Narrative incorporated into the process can be a bridge for helping students learn. • A way to encounter alternative views, different possibilities, that challenge the meanings. (Kegan & Lahey, 2001)

  5. Epistemology Meaning making through reflection in formal education can be accomplished by listening to students’ accounts of their experience of the learning assignment or process that has just taken place recently. Listen to how their stories change.

  6. DEVELOPING REFLECTIVE JUDGMENTPatricia M. King & Karen Strohm Kitchner, 1981 Jossey Bass Publishers

  7. Story Construction When storying becomes overt and is given expression in word, the resulting stories are one of the most effective ways to making one’s own interpretation of events and ideas available to others. (Wells, 1986, p. 194)

  8. Becoming the Authors Becoming the authors of their own lives involved reshaping what they believed (epistemology), their sense of self (intrapersonal), and their relationships with others (interpersonal). (Baxter Magolda, 2001, p. 119)

  9. Listening for stories. Hearing how the stories change. What to listen for? Hear how the student reassess and reconstructs particular events. Practice in the Classroom

  10. Stories • This must be the answer! • Why can’t you teach me? • Where do I begin? • Taking ownership.

  11. Evolving Self • Reflection. • Moving on. • Practicing. • A new way.

  12. Taking Ownership • Examining the self. • Learning to learn. • Seeking the truth. • Challenging the meanings.

  13. Serendipity • Student responsibility. • Ask more questions. • Challenge personal assumptions. • Read materials more carefully. • Do additional research.

  14. Summary For meaningful learning to take place the student must reflect on their experience. Experience is the foundation of, and stimulus for learning. Constructing stories has been called one of the most fundamental means of meaning-making. Becoming the authors of their own lives involved reshaping what they believed.
