The Dialogical Self Theory in Education: A Multicultural Perspective – PDF

This eBook, titled “The Dialogical Self Theory in Education: A Multicultural Perspective (Cultural Psychology of Education)“, is a collection of articles that highlights the cross-cultural and cross-country applications of Dialogical Self Theory within the context of education. The book features contributions from renowned international authors who demonstrate how theoretical and practical innovations can arise from the interface of internal and external dialogues.

Dialogical Self Theory, which was developed by Hubert Hermans and his colleagues, addresses the challenge of educational specialists working in isolation by combining two aspects: the dialogue among individuals and dialogical processes within individuals, particularly students and teachers. This book is the first to apply Dialogical Self Theory to education, with 13 chapters exploring different cultural contexts and presenting theoretical considerations and practical procedures. These articles demonstrate that this interface is an ideal ground for the production of new theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches that can enrich the work of educational researchers and specialists.

This eBook is highly recommended for practitioners, academics, and postgraduate students in the field of education who are interested in the innovative and community-enhancing potentials of dialogue. It aims to inspire self-reflection and creative ways to engage in new conversations that can respond to real-world issues, and empower education to play a more vital role in society.
