商品簡介
In these ten articles, contributors examine the ways that teaching and learning are central to transmit culture. They emphasize using social interaction, cultural tools, and history in children's development, based on the premise that learning is a cultural process that happens through participation. The articles about learning in informal settings include examinations of the sociocultural contexts and the sustainability of daily routines as a family outcome, and an ethnomodel of apprenticeship in Zinacantec Maya women's tasks. Articles centering on preschoolers include studies of Hawaiian and Costa Rican children, and the encouraging literacy and math skills through home-school partnerships. For middle and high school applications, the articles include a study of morals training in dance classes, enacting the five standards for effective pedagogy in a culturally relevant environment, and working with students in re-cultured and comprehensive schools.
