Our sustained presence as participant observers in urban schools contexts has helped us recog-nize the complexity of the networks of relations and activity systems that exist and emerge inclassrooms.
This type of investigation was suggested by Bronfenbrenner in last Cycle's readings. Getting out of the lab and into the classroom was one of his proposals for making better experiments. Do you agree that this type of investigation is the optimal in collecting data?
hybrid spaces
The hybrid being what you know and what you are capable of knowing.
We have conceptualized such particular discursive spaces as the third space in which alterna-tive and competing discourses and positionings transform conflict and difference into rich zone
This also reminds me of what we learned in Prof. Fulmer's course last semester. The idea of Inclusive Leadership pushes people towards consensus and allows those involved to sit in this uncomfortable 3rd space while negotiating terms that eventually lead to a more collaborative environment.
We argue that the use of multiple, diverse, and even conflict-ing mediational tools promotes the emergence of Third Spaces, or zones of development, thus expand-ing learning.
How does this connect to Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development? Are the mediational tools noted similar to a "teacher" as the tool to help a child reach a higher level of development in Vygotsky's theory?
