Development of Critical Thinking and Sensitivity Through the Value Discussion Approach in the Classroom: Learning to Use the Hea
Abstract
The Value Discussion Approach (VDA) is a dilemma discussion-based approach that synthesizes elements from critical pedagogy, feminist pedagogy and value education. Drawing from research on using VDA for gender sensitization in India and with undergraduates at UW–Madison, participants will learn how VDA offers valuable opportunities for developing critical thinking and sensitivity to different perspectives and facilitating cognitive as well as affective educational objectives.
