- Title
From Listening to Asking: Issues of Power Balance in P4C.
- Authors
Ide, Kanako W.
- Abstract
This article explores a P4C-style of response to criticisms addressed to P4C's inconsistencies. The main argument against P4C is that, although P4C theory stands for, by, and with children in terms of educational philosophy, P4C advocates do not follow the same approach when they defend P4C theory from criticism. By developing a discussion about listening and education through Megan Laverty's idea of listening, Jane Roland Martin's idea of pretending as if listening, and Darren Chetty and Judith Suissa's idea of misunderstanding as if listening, Kanako W. Ide argues that the central business for P4C advocates with regard to these criticisms is not to respond to them well, but rather to create a suitable educational environment for children to deliberate and discuss them, thereby allowing the adults to extract the children's wisdom and apply it to this adult-generated problem.
