What is a Cultural Practice?
This is the start of our very own online class discussion.
Feel free to expand on any concepts and questions that are posted
This is our open and creative space to learn.
Cultural practice is two-fold: 1. setting a high achieving environment to learn to establish a culture of loving learning and, 2. recognizing the backgrounds of the the students and considering that in developing lessons. I believe that this is the first obstacle that must be overcome by any school or district to maximize student learning while considering both aspects.
Hey Haley, I'm glad you decided to use our class blog. I just posted the question of cultural practice to start the discussion but we can talk about any topics. As far as the "box problem" this in Ch3. If you take a look at page 77 Rogoff explains the box problem is ( I'm Paraphrasing) to my understanding it's essentially the same as stereotyping. Its when a person categorizes an individual based on a single relatable characteristic then determines all members of that group must be the same because of this in-group similarity and they must significantly differ from others outside the group. For example: If you look at me a put me in a box labeled Black female then conclude all Black females must be the same as me while also determining that all black females greatly differ from White females because they are in a different box. I hope this helps...
What is other regulation? What does it mean exactly? I remember discussing it in class and I remember really understanding it, but I did not write and now I don't remember....
Hey Haley I will get back to you soon with a in-depth explanation for you. I dont' have my book with me at the moment. but I will post my response and email it to you :-)

ReplyDeleteSo I know this has nothing to do with cultural practice....or maybe it does. I am completely stumped on the Box Problem?!
