A colloquium held on March 17, 2014, and sponsored by the Cognition Development and SESAME programs at UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education (http://mondaytalk-berkeley.blogspot.com/) • ABSTRACT • How do children learn when they have the opportunity to contribute to the range of endeavors of their family and community? In some communities, children commonly observe the activities around them and pitch-in to help. This approach to learning seems to be especially prevalent in many Mexican and Indigenous-heritage communities of the Americas, and less common in communities that segregate children from the range of activities of their community. • In this presentation, Barbara Rogoff discusses key aspects that seem to characterize this way of learning: • Children have opportunities to contribute and take initiative, • Children and adults engage collaboratively, • Goals of learning include becoming a responsible contributor, • Children are attentive to surrounding activities and considerate of the direction of the group, • Communication is based on shared engagement in the activity, and • Evaluation serves to support children's learning and contributing. • These ideas will be illustrated with research on cultural differences among children from Guatemalan Mayan, Mexican-heritage, and European-heritage US communities as well as observations in an innovative US school (reported in Learning Together, Oxford University Press, 2001). • ABOUT THE SPEAKER • Barbara Rogoff is UCSC Foundation Distinguished Professor of Psychology.
