DEVELOPING NARRATIVE INTELLIGENCE - KEY DIMENSIONS IN TEACHERS’ TRAINING PROGRAMS THROUGH VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Summary/Abstract: Most arguments and points that describe the quality of training programs demonstrate that narrative art plays a central role in the theory and practice of training and change. The paper we propose supports an enthusiastic viewpoint that aims to reveal few basic guidelines of a plea for narrative art. We present a set of reasons supporting the importance of developing narrative intelligence through training programs, to be used by trainers that promote and create virtual learning environments. Throughout the paper we address few possible interrogations: What is narrative intelligence? What is a story/narration that calls for an action? What goals should be aimed by including a story/narration in a online training session? Is narrative intelligence only a useful communication tool, or can it be used as an evaluation criteria for the effectiveness of all forms of communication directed to action? How to insert narration in a training session? How can you call to action using the art of narration? Is there a secret language of the trainer? What is the profile of the cyber education field and how does narrative intelligence contributes to build this new world? This paper describes some of the properties of a world of “virtual reality” constructed according to narrative principles and their force to act in educational space to create the authentic virtual learning environment.
