Pursuing Learning as Coherent, Connected and Cumulative

Abstract

In this chapter our specific aim is to show how the time teachers and students spend together can be constructed and used as a resource within and for AfL in science and technology. As we explained in Chapter 2, our sociocultural stance drew our attention to the complexity of how learning takes place over time (lessons, days, weeks, months and years) and contexts (small groups, whole class, in and out of school).
