In the World Library of Educationalists series, international
experts themselves compile career-long collections of what they
judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key
articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and
practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single
manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and
strands and see how their work contributes to the development of
the field. Language and the Joint Creation of Knowledge draws on
the most prominent writing of Neil Mercer, covering his
ground-breaking and critically acclaimed work on the role of talk
in education, and on the relationship between spoken language and
cognition. The text explores key themes, relating theoretical ideas
to research evidence and to practical educational situations that
improve children's lives. Offering students and researchers a
clear, accessible and up-to-date account of a sociocultural
perspective on the relationship between spoken language and
cognition, it explains one of the key themes in Neil Mercer's work
- that humans have uniquely evolved the capacity to think together,
or 'interthink'. Offering a crucial insight into the work of Neil
Mercer, this selection showcases why his approach has become the
dominant paradigm in educational research, and why it is
increasingly influential in the psychology of teaching and
learning. This unique collection of published articles and
chapters, which represent the key themes and range of his research
over the last 40 years, will be of interest to all followers of his
work and any reader interested in the role of language in
education.
