Opis

'Literacy and Education' tells the story of how literacy-starting in the early 1980s came to be seen not as a mental phenomenon, but as a social and cultural one. In this accessible introductory volume, scholar James Paul Gee shows readers how literacy 'left the mind and wandered out into the world.' He traces the ways a sociocultural view of literacy melded with a social view of the mind and speaks to learning in and out of school in new and powerful ways.
