Abstract
An academic student dialogue is a facilitated discussion that provides an opportunity for students in higher education to share perspectives and experiences, while at the same time challenging participants to understand why they hold certain views and attitudes. Because dialogues for secular and religious Jewish students in Israel aim to understand and discuss different viewpoints among these groups, curricular goals are tailored to fit this specific course content. A content analysis was undertaken on final papers of 96 undergraduate students as part of their obligations for academic credit in the dialogue course in which they participated. The papers included a description of student experiences during the dialogue. This article explores research findings that highlight the importance of structuring dialogue experiences that challenge students’ moral thinking, trigger an engagement in self-discovery and enhance inter-group understandings. Future directions include investigating changes to students’ identity as a consequence of specific types of dialogic interactions.
