Editor's Notes
- #3 Emphasizes the importance of culture and context in understanding what occurs in society and constructing knowledge based on this understanding (Derry, 1999; McMahon, 1997).
- #4 Reality is constructed through human activity. (Kukla, 2000). Knowledge is a human product, and is socially and culturally constructed (Ernest, 1999; Gredler, 1997; Prat & Floden, 1994).Learning is a social process. It does not take place only within an individual, nor is it a passive development of behaviours that are shaped by external forces (McMahon, 1997).Building from social theories and strands from John Dewey, Piaget, George Kelly, Albert Bandura, Jerome Bruner and VYGOTSKY
- #6 -much more room for an active, involved teacher. -culture gives the child the cognitive tools needed for development. -The type and quality of those tools determines, the pattern and rate of development.-parents and teachers are conduits for the tools of the culture, including language.-The tools include cultural history, social context, and language.-Today: include electronic forms of information access.
- #8 -creates a context for learning in which students become engaged in interesting activities that encourages and facilitates learning. -does not simply stand by and watch children explore and discover. -Instead, she guides students as they approach problems, encourages them to work in groups to think about issues and questions, and Supports them with encouragement and advice as they tackle problems, adventures, and challenges that are rooted in real life situations -facilitates cognitive growth and learning as do peers and other members of the child's community.
