The GEMINI pedagogical triangle: From watching serial drama to teaching gender issues

The GEMINI research project presents a research-action approach to gender equality. While research is the basis from which we develop our thinking about how serial drama may facilitate a constructive dialogue about gender issues, the action part of the project centres principally on presenting new ways of teaching gender equality to high school students by using serial drama as a pedagogical tool.

This short article presents the GEMINI pedagogical triangle as a flexible and an easy-to-use teachers’ tool. It discloses the elementary pedagogical perspectives embedded in its use, while it refers to illustrative examples of how the triangle may be put to use. The triangle is not a new revolutionary tool; rather, it is a straightforward way to facilitate modes of thought in a basic teaching context.
