Pedagogies of decentering and a discourse of failure

Judy Z. Segal University of British Columbia

Abstract

Person 1-I'm trying something new in my intro to literature course this year. I decided not to lecture any more. So I've been trying to have more discussion, more group work, give the students more responsibility for the course. And you know what's happened? In their journals, they say they want me to lecture; they've actually asked me to lecture. Person 2-When you get right down to it, all the theory about collaboration and shared responsibility is great if you've got students who want that sort of thing. But my students say they've paid their fees to find out what I have to say. Frankly, when I've got group work scheduled for a period, a lot of them just don't come.
