Abstract

ABSTRACT Preparing children and youth for a world of growing complexity, diversity, and mobility requires fresh educational approaches and deliberate pedagogies. In this article, we explore the role of storytelling in making sense of crucial global transformations affecting children’s lives. We examine how migrant children and their peers in two classrooms – in the United States and Greece – learn to listen to, co-construct, and share stories of migration. The article draws on a comparative case study and action research approach to advance a novel “Collective Stories of Voice and Influence” pedagogy. We find four qualities that render Collective Stories of Voice and Influence pedagogically effective: they are collaboratively constructed, multivoiced, materially grounded, and civically empowering. The proposed pedagogy can inform educators interested in novel teaching designs that use narratives to help children address complex global issues while creating safe conditions to navigate moments of vulnerability.

声音和影响力的集体故事:为移动中的世界编织故事和文化

摘要：让儿童和青年为一个日益复杂、多样性和流动性的世界做好准备，需要新的教育方法和深思熟虑的教学方法。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了讲故事在理解影响儿童生活的关键全球变革中的作用。我们研究了在美国和希腊的两个教室里，移民儿童和他们的同龄人是如何学会倾听、共同构建和分享移民故事的。本文采用比较案例研究和行动研究的方法，提出了一种新颖的“声音与影响力的集体故事”教学法。我们发现，《声音与影响力的集体故事》有四个品质使其在教学上有效：它们是协作构建的、多声音的、物质基础的和公民赋权的。拟议的教学法可以为对新颖的教学设计感兴趣的教育工作者提供信息，这些设计使用叙事来帮助儿童解决复杂的全球问题，同时创造安全的条件来应对脆弱时刻。
