It focuses on the puzzle of how students acquire new understandings out of the knowledge they already possess. One of several views is Richard Prawat’s concept of 'abduction' or the use of metaphor by teachers as a means for students' learning. But the question is whether this 'metaphor' would be effective in multicultural schools where students have different cultural backgrounds and understandings. The utilisation of a fixed 'metaphor' that only some students comprehend can limit the learning opportunities for others. This research attempts to address this concern through Nicholas Burbules’ concept of 'dialogue' as an integral part of the abductive process. This dialogue discloses the greater mutual understanding of learning counterparts despite their diversity and opens up the possibilities of other relevant metaphors. Consequently, the integration of dialogue in the abductive process assists students in acquiring new knowledge more equally and enriches their learning more holistically and meaningfully. date: 2022 date_type: published official_url: https://cmuj.cmu.ac.th/asr/journal_de.php?id=204 full_text_type: pub language: eng verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1946074 lyricists_name: Ruankool, Nopparat lyricists_id: NRUAN50 actors_name: Ruankool, Nopparat actors_id: NRUAN50 actors_role: owner full_text_status: restricted publication: ASR:Chiang Mai University Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities volume: 9 number: 1 article_number: e2022001 citation: Ruankool, Nopparat; (2022) Understanding Learning Paradox through Abduction and Dialogue for Effective Teaching in Multicultural Schools.
