Publication date: September 2019Source: Learning, Culture and Social Interaction, Volume 22Author(s): Anne KarabonAbstractResearch has revealed that preschoolers in the United States spend one third of their school day in routines and transitions between activities. Rethinking teacher-led activities, early educators can design play-based activities that incorporate content learning and honor children's funds of knowledge. This instrumental case study examines how two prekindergarten teachers systematically designed and implemented sophisticated play-based learning activities focused on mathematics in the transition time fo...

An Indigenous Australian student's perezhivanie in reading and the evolvement of reader identities over three years
In this study, we deploy Vygotsky's concept of perezhivanie to trace the reader identities and engagement responses to reading of an Indigenous Australian student over three years. Current research has given insufficient attention to students' evolving reader identities and the significant personal moments that contribute to their identities. As a theoretical concept, perezhivanie provides a holistic unit of analysis that foregrounds the interconnection between emotional experiences, identities and reading (dis)engagement. The data were drawn from interviews with Lisa and her teachers, classroom observations of Lisa and he...

Publication date: September 2019Source: Learning, Culture and Social Interaction, Volume 22Author(s): Kateřina LojdováAbstractThe purpose of this study was to investigate the socialization of a student teacher on teaching practice into the discursive community of the classroom. Discourse analysis of interviews and video recordings of classes taught by a student teacher and cooperating teacher was conducted. The results showed interpretative repertoires of classroom management of the cooperating teacher and the student teacher, where those of the student teacher are more learner-centered. However, during the teaching prac...

Tinkering alone and together: Tracking the emergence of children's projects in a library workshop
This article describes children's ways of problem solving while engaging in a special kind of making described as tinkering using a broad constructionist (Papert, 1983) theoretical perspective of learning as active meaning making while building constructions. We present three tinkering projects created by children along with the emergent problem-solving associated with each project. Each case is unique in terms of the tinkering and problem-solving process, nature of materials used, and the social interactions that support it. Our findings indicate how tinkering projects mediate the intersection of personal and public, phys...

The aim of the game: A pedagogical tool to support young children's learning through play
Publication date: June 2019Source: Learning, Culture and Social Interaction, Volume 21Author(s): Yeshe Colliver, Nikolay VeraksaAbstractUnderstanding what and how young children learn through their play is central to the enactment of the dominant, play-based early childhood education and care. This paper presents data from a case study of 28 young children's perspectives on learning through play. Application of a cultural-historical analysis method showed how these perspectives may be understood according to Vygotsky's writing on learning through play. This paper suggests “the aim of the game” is a useful way to unders...
