Significance of Narrative Knowing in Student-Centered University Education Curricula: A Hong Kong Perspective
Yu, Wai Ming; Lee, John Chi Kin
Curriculum and Teaching, v33 n1 p39-53 Jun 2018
This paper was inspired by three important concerns in higher education, namely, changes in higher education curricula (Bourner, 2004), concept of a fully functioning university (Bourner, 2008), and nature of education, such a university offers (Bourner, Heath, & Rospigliosi, 2013). To prepare university graduates for the unpredictable changes and diversified needs of a fast-growing world, the authors explore the use of narrative knowing in designing a student-centered curriculum. This paper reports the learning achieved by students when a Hong Kong university applies the under-developed narrative pedagogy in teaching and learning.
