The Power of Silence: An Enquiry through Fictional Writing.
Rowland, Stephen
British Educational Research Journal, v17 n2 p95-111 1991
Explores power relationships between teacher and participants in an inservice course as the tutor attempts to shift responsibility away from a teacher and toward the learners. Sees episodes of silence during the reflective discussions as particularly significant in the dynamic and changing awareness. Uses fictional writing to express feelings, thoughts, and interpretations of periods of silence. (DK)
