6. Good teaching = more effective communication
In monastery schools one
didn’t negotiate meanings,
they were taken as facts.
It was thought that
improving learning is a matter
of communicating those facts

10. Social constructivism & sociocultural theories
Learning is a process of meaning making,
not of knowledge transmission
The very nature of the meaning making process
is social and dialogic
Meanings exist in our minds and between us
Knowledge and cognitive activity is distributed
among our culture and mediated by our tools
