Learning in Doing: Social, Cognitive and Computational Perspectives

by Arnetha F. Ball (Editor)

Contributed by authors who write from various disciplinary perspectives, the essays in this book clarify the learning theories of Mikhail Bakhtin and address the application of his concepts to contemporary issues. In addition, the authors are joined by other scholars in a Bakhtinian dialogue. Together, they address questions that readers may have about Bakhtinian theory and its application to everyday teaching practices.

Read three essays that were of interest to my studies. Found them to help clarify some of Bakhtin’s thoughts.

OK, more reading on discourse Bakhtin

It's amazing how much of what is talked about in this book is slowly finding its way not only into the edu-reform conversation; much of this is landing visibly in schools as well
