Subject: PSLC PIER Edbag-Roy Pea Talk Reminder

Dear PSLC PIER Members,


In 2 days on Tuesday April 26, 2011 at 12:00 PM there will be a PIER Edbag-Roy Pea talk in BH 336B.

Learning pathways as a conceptual tool for understanding culture and learning
Roy Pea, Stanford University (with colleagues from the LIFE Center)

In this brownbag, I will sketch a developing framework for conceptualizing learning as occurring along culturally-organized learning pathways – the sequences of consequential participations in learning activities that move one toward greater social recognition as competent in particular learning domains. Our approach supports an account of culture and learning that attends to the multi-level nature of the ways that cultural processes are inherent in learning. It draws attention to the specific resources to which learners have access, the ways that learners are positioned within the broad range of learning settings in which they spend time, and the role that issues of identity —who one is in the process of becoming — play in learning.
