Art of Epistemic Reframing as a Particular Way to Include Students
When teachers are comfortable with the epistemic inclusion approach, combined with multiple intelligences and the STEM approach, another interesting complementary tool is epistemic reframing. This chapter familiarizes you with the idea of this maneuver and shows how it works in real-life educational situations. How can we make use of off-topic student interventions and comments? How can we transform the perturbations and provocations in the epistemic material to transmit them in the form of knowledge? How can we change students' perception of their learning objectives – notably, whether they are attainable or not in their eyes? How can we render them attainable? These questions are broached and illustrated by real-life situations that stage this maneuver, displaying it with all contextual nuances.
