| Description | The aim of this case study was to examine a process of gradual change in teaching practices during a development programme on dialogic teaching. The change process was seen to be non-linear. It included stages of regression – caused by a disharmony among the elements of dialogic teaching: indicators, principles and methods – and stages of progress which, on the contrary, came into effect when the partial elements were successfully brought into a harmonious relationship. The reflective interviews played a key role in the process of change, providing a tool for recognising disharmony and for creating a plan to overcome it. |
