Okullar Neden Daha Fazla Anlaşmazlık Fırsatı Yaratmalı | Mark Urista | TEDxCorvallis

Linn-Benton Community College'da Konuşma İletişimi öğretim üyesi Mark Urista, okulların öğrencilere yapıcı biçimde anlaşmazlık yaşama fırsatlarını artırması gerektiğini savunuyor. Konuşmasında, kolej bünyesindeki Sivil Söylem Programı'nı yönettiği çalışmasına değiniyor. Ona göre anlaşmazlıkla iyi baş etmeyi öğretmek, gelecek nesil için en önemli ama gözden kaçan becerilerden biri.

• Anlaşmazlıkla sağlıklı baş etmenin öğretilebilir bir beceri olması
• Yapılandırılmış diyalog ve tartışma uygulamaları
• Bölünme yerine karşılıklı anlayışı güçlendirme
