Abstract
The Cultural Nature of Children’s Collaboration
In this talk, Barbara Rogoff shows the sophisticated form of fluid collaboration that is especially common among children and families from Mexican- and Indigenous-heritage communities in the Americas. Fluid collaboration, with people building on each other’s ideas, is less common among highly schooled European American families, who more often engage solo or in conflict with each other. Rogoff ties these contrasting ways of interaction to cultural value systems regarding interpersonal relations and to the cultural organization of learning.
