Dialogue Education is a transformative, learning-centered framework for effective adult learning, transfer and retention first described by educator, Jane Vella in the 1980’s. Dialogue Education shifts the focus of education from what the teacher says to what the learner does, from learner passivity to learners as active participants in the dialogue that leads to learning, from seeing learners as objects to be acted upon or to receive content to seeing subjects with respected life experience acting upon content. The content are presented to learners as open questions to be reflected on and integrated into the learner’s own context and then links directly what learners do in a learning event to desired changes on the job, across organizations as well as in personal lives.
