This book studies learning as a social enterprise, contextually
situated, organized and assessed. It gives a broad theoretic
grounding for an understanding of learning which goes beyond a
common reductionist approach. The book discusses four related
approaches to learning which share a social perspective: social
semiotics and multimodality; a design-theoretic approach to
learning; a socio-cultural perspective; and a perspective of
mimetic learning. Contributing authors consider the theoretical
question of how to understand educational systems, learning and
social communication as historically situated practices. The
chapters in this book analyze key working practices including:
analyzing what learning, remembering and cognitive work is like in
a practice involving different kinds of expertise; problem-solving
and engaging through collaboration; learning and teaching in
different formal, semi- and non-formal environments; a
design-theoretic approach to learning; social semiotic perspectives
on learning; the mimetic and ritual dimension of learning; how
social learning can be organized to support students; how learning
has been conceptualized in psychology and neighbouring research
areas. This book will be of great interest to students and
researchers interested in learning and meaning-making, multimodal
representations and communication, designs for learning, education
and teaching, and social achievement in different formal and
non-formal contexts.
