Narrative Pedagogy is a phenomenological pedagogy, first described in nursing by Diekelmann in 1991. Since that time it has spread world-wide and is proliferating in nursing, midwifery and other disciplines. Narrative Pedagogy is a research-based pedagogy, grounded in interpretive phenomenology and narrative discourse. It both challenges and accompanies outcomes and competency based approaches to education and creates opportunities for faculty and students to learn together to improve their schools and the care they provide to others.

Come join us for the second international conference on Narrative Pedagogy where teachers and scholars from around the world will gather to explore how Narrative Pedagogy and other interpretive approaches can be enacted and evaluated in different disciplines and settings.

Objectives

The goal of this conference is to gather teachers and scholars from around the world and from diverse disciplines to explore how Narrative Pedagogy, and other new pedagogies, can be enacted and evaluated to improve the preparation of novices for practice.

  • Explore the challenges and opportunities of pedagogical reform using Narrative Pedagogy.
  • Compare and contrast the contributions of Narrative Pedagogy and other interpretive pedagogies in the preparation of students for practice.
  • Articulate pressing research questions arising when new pedagogies are enacted in classroom and/or clinical settings.
  • Plan ways to further develop new pedagogies through collaborative local, national, international and interdisciplinary partnerships and activities.
