Socio-cultural theorists view learning as integration into a community of practice (for example Lave and Wenger, 1991) in which social actions are identified (for example the mathematical manipulation of abstract symbols according to given conventions) and classroom activities designed (for example the rulers activity).
-
What I find exciting about the links between constructivism and socio-cultural theory is the potential to explain children's development of mathematical knowledge in terms of its individual and social construction under the influence of social and cultural practices.

5 Learning takes place within some socio-cultural setting - a 'community of practice' in which we can think of social actions as well as social interactions.

I should like to summarise the relationships outlined above by viewing learning as the individual construction and social mediation of knowledge within a community of practice. Thus:
1 Knowing is an action participated in by the learner. Knowledge is not received from an external source.
2 Learning is a process of comparing new experience with knowledge constructed from previous experience, resulting in the reinforcing or adaptation of that knowledge.
3 Social interactions within the learning environment are an essential part of this experience and contribute fundamentally to individual knowledge construction.
4 Shared meanings develop through negotiation in the learning environment, leading to the development of common or 'taken-as-shared' knowledge
5 Learning takes place within some socio-cultural setting - a 'community of practice' in which we can think of social actions as well as social interactions.
