A recent e-mail from Dr. Jim Julius, Associate Director Instructional Technology Services, AH-1144, at San Diego State University, brought attention to an interesting article entitled, "The Instructional Value of Storytelling" researched and written by Patricia McGee, PhD., Department of Counseling, Adult & Higher Education, & Educational Psychology, College of Education and Human Development.
The abstract is:
Much is known about the value of discourse in the classroom, and the use of stories within an instructional setting. However, little is known about the empirical impact of storytelling on learning, particularly in adult learning settings. This literature review examines theory, models, and research to identify those elements of storytelling that provide pedagogical and andragological value within environments in which adults learn.
To read the article, which I found to be quite interesting, go to:
