Ethical Learning through Meetings with Others

By Ulrika Bergmark.

Published by The International Journal of Learning

Different kinds of meetings are natural for every student and teacher in schools around the world. This study deals with matters of ethics as a relation, meetings with Others, narratives, reflection and learning experiences. In a secondary school in northern Sweden eight students and one teacher worked within a course where different guests were invited into the classroom - a homosexual, a refugee and a disabled person. The aim of this article is to elucidate, enable understanding for and discuss students’ and a teacher’s learning experiences through their meetings with Others. The empirical data was created through close observation, field notes, reflective journals and e-mail communication. Theoretically the study is based on the philosophies of Emanuel Lévinas and Nel Noddings.
