IDEAL Principle #1: Dialogic Interaction

Break the Silence.

"Learning is not a one-way flow of information; it is a dialogue process co-constructed by the instructor and the student."

From the Crisis of Silence to Dialogic Pedagogy

The greatest pedagogical barrier in higher education is the "Comfortable Silence" that dominates classrooms. Monologues where knowledge is solely transmitted by the instructor minimize the student's cognitive engagement, thereby deepening the "Application Gap."

"Knowledge is not a package transported from A to B; it is a new energy born from dialogic collision."

Dialogic interaction is not merely a classroom activity, but an approach to how knowledge is ontologically constructed. Through Peer Instruction and Socratic questioning methods, students are compelled to reconstruct concepts within their own minds. In this process, making mistakes is accepted as a natural and valuable part of learning.

Traditional Monologue

Knowledge flows Top-down. The student is positioned merely as a passive 'receiver.'

IDEAL Dialogue

Knowledge is negotiated horizontally (Peer-to-peer). The instructor acts as a curator and facilitator.

The horizontal bar of the **T-Shaped Expertise** competency (transversal skills) that our graduates must possess is largely developed in these dialogic environments. Teamwork, persuasion skills, and critical listening can only take root in a genuine interaction ecosystem.
