| Summary: | This paper explores the nature, purpose and practice of structured controversy pedagogy (SCP). It begins by examining the philosophical underpinnings of SCP and explains its relationship with transformational learning. A four-step model is introduced, followed by two LAMS-based case examples, illustrating contemporary, technology-based applications of this pedagogical model. This paper argues that SCP may provide a possibility to engage students and lecturers in teaching and learning practices that move beyond transmission education. It is a response to Dalziel’s (2010) call for more specific examples of eTeaching Strategies. |
