We identify patterned ways in how students connected theory and practice as revealed through an analysis of field notes written across three quarters of instruction about their experiences in an after-school program at an urban elementary school. We draw implications for how undergraduate education can better foster students’ ability to engage with theory in support of transformative educational practice.","PeriodicalId":51588,"journal":{"name":"Mind Culture and Activity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60181056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that such ideas overlook the social complexity and fluidity of young people’s evolving lives. To better understand and respond to young people’s living and learning through poverty, we present a Deweyan-Pragmatist exploration of the evolving experiencing of a young person living poverty and associated adversity and yet “doing well” through schooling, one that focuses on a transactionally-oriented understanding of the human condition.","PeriodicalId":51588,"journal":{"name":"Mind Culture and Activity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42892517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using two versions of activity theories, we hypothesized that constructive activity is characterized by the expansion of the object of activity within productive activity. An empirical study conducted in anesthesia produced results that describe this expansion during the preparation of anesthesia. Over half of the anesthetists selected a solution they viewed as riskier. Their object was expanded from the situated care production to include their own selves as subjects in development and a form of generalization.","PeriodicalId":51588,"journal":{"name":"Mind Culture and Activity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48443523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed data from a formative intervention, based on a sociocultural-based teacher education approach. By using the models of reflective practice and double stimulation, we supported 10 language teachers to reconceptualize their practice into more plurilingual models. Findings show how the process of transformation toward plurilingualism takes place through three cognitive moves that teachers come up with to resolve contradictions. We conclude that sociocultural-based teacher education models can play an important role in supporting teachers reconceptualize their practices and thus, allow for professional development.","PeriodicalId":51588,"journal":{"name":"Mind Culture and Activity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43872336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Racial disproportionality in school discipline is a critical inequity that requires ecologically valid solutions with local stakeholders.

ILL is an inclusive systemic design process informed by cultural historical activity theory and decolonizing methodology.

The teachers also converged on the belief that construction of knowledge as community practice requires establishing shared understandings with the children’s own communities and school administration.","PeriodicalId":51588,"journal":{"name":"Mind Culture and Activity","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41338060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
