More about the book
About the book
Using Vygotsky's ideas, this book contributes to the cultural-historical study of school children's learning. The focus is not only on activities within the classroom but on the importance of various extraneous conditions, for example educational ideology that can influence both instruction and learning.
The comprehensive material is presented under five headings: School Traditions and Learning, Educational Practice that Combines Community Knowledge and Social Science Studies, Everyday Knowledge and Mathematics and Physics Learning, Diversity in Learning Modes and Classroom Interaction and Discourse.
This is an important book for teachers, administrators and others who want to know more about how teachers teach and children learn.
