Learning Relationships in the Classroom

This study develops theoretical explanations of teaching and learning which take into account the many social contexts in which children learn, and is grounded in the realization that the conventional, Piagetian and cognitive accounts current in the 1960s and 1970s have not sufficiently attended to the nature of children's social relationships. Chapters look at the process of creating and maintaining peer cultures, with particular emphasis on the issues of peer rejection and bullying; the growing importance of children's friendships; and the way individual and cultural differences affect children's social participation and their sense of self. Next scholars explore adolescent development, incorporating perspectives from both psychology and sociology. The concluding re-examination of cultural concepts of childhood, child development and the nature of children's autonomy will set a new course for the study of teaching and learning in the future.
