Classroom Interaction and Social Learning From Theory to Practice

The contemporary classroom presents a wealth of opportunities for social interaction amongst pupils, leading to increased interest in teachers and researchers into the social nature of learning. While classroom interaction can be a valuable tool for learning, it does not necessarily lead to useful learning experiences. Through case studies, this book highlights the use of new analytical methodologies for studying the content and patterns of children's interactions and how these contribute to their construction of knowledge. Classroom Interaction and Social Learning will be of interest to students and in service teachers and researchers concerned with classroom discourse and learning.Kumpulainen, Kristiina is the author of 'Classroom Interaction and Social Learning From Theory to Practice' with ISBN 9780415230780 and ISBN 0415230780.
