STORYTELLING AS A TOOL FOR TEACHER TRAINING, SELF-AWARENESS AND DYNAMIC LEARNING

Alessandra Mazzini, Alessandro Barca

Abstract


The paper describes the theoretical premises and methodological framework that led to a training proposal for lower secondary school teachers and for their students highlighting the educational value of literature. Narrative thinking connects experiences, encourages reflection on one’s own existence and self-awareness. The model improved teaching practices and relationships, offering active tools for the classroom. Technology supported this process of reflection and self-education.
