Story is everywhere in human lives and cultures and it features
strongly in the processes of teaching and learning. Story can be
called narrative, case study, critical incident, life history,
anecdote, scenario, illustration or example, creative writing,
storytelling; it is a unit of communication, it is in the products
of the media industries, in therapy and in our daily acts of
reflecting. Stories are 'told' in many ways - they are spoken,
written, filmed, mimed or acted, presented as cartoons and in new
media formats and through all these, they are associated with both
teaching and learning processes but in different ways and at
different levels. As a result of growing interest and simultaneous
confusion about story, it is timely to untangle the various
meanings of story so that we can draw out and extend its value and
use. Using Story aims to clarify what we mean by story, to seek out
where story occurs in education and life and to explore the
processes by which we learn from story. In this way the book
intends to 'bring story into the open' and improve its use.
Building on her wealth of experience in the field, Jenny Moon
explores the theory of story and demonstrates both its current uses
and new ways in which to enrich and enliven teaching, learning and
research processes. Ideal for anyone involved in education,
personal or professional development or with a more general
interest in story, the book begins by considering the range of what
is meant by story, and then considers the theory behind the
meanings. In the large final part of the book, Jenny provides a
rich patchwork of different uses of story in education that cut
across forms of story, story activities, disciplines and
applications all of which will aid the use of story.
