Abstract:
Research on the Paideia Method (a method for discussing a topic) was conducted in 20 classrooms across five schools, of varying socio economic environments (ages 11-13) in Auckland, New Zealand in 2010. The researchers sought to further examine the results from their pilot study of the Paideia Seminar, entitled ‘Talking Allowed: I like it when the teacher lets us talk without telling us what to say’ trialed in 2008 (Sinclair & Davies, 2011)
