Silence

Abstract
I’m sure many will have experienced a similar situation. I was attending a conference, and – having queued up to register and collect the conference pack of goodies – was browsing through the programme of presentations to see what were the hot topics of the day and wondering what would catch my interest. One of the titles jumped out at me. It was about silence and specifically the value of silence for learning. One of the reasons that I was intrigued by it was the counterpoint that it provided to my own contribution to the conference – that was about discussion and the value of ‘design-talk’ as a design development tool. So I was immediately set speculating about how these two apparent opposites (talk and silence) could both be valuable in learning.
The whole thing gets more complicated when we recognise that talking and thinking are so intimately connected.Article Details
