It discusses four related approaches: social semiotics, multimodality, design-theoretic, socio-cultural, and mimetic learning. Contributing authors consider how educational systems, learning, and social communication are historically situated practices. The chapters analyze key working practices, such as analyzing learning in different expertise, problem-solving, collaboration, and teaching in various environments. It also discusses social semiotic perspectives, mimetic and ritual dimensions, and organizing learning to support students. The book is relevant to students and researchers interested in learning, meaning-making, multimodal representations, design for learning, education, and teaching, and social achievement in different formal and non-formal contexts. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 174 pages\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 May 2021\u003cbr\u003e\\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of learning as a social enterprise, situated within diverse contexts, meticulously organized, and evaluated. It provides a robust theoretical foundation for comprehending learning that transcends conventional reductionist approaches. The book explores four interconnected perspectives on learning, each rooted in a social lens: social semiotics and multimodality, a design-theoretic approach to learning, a socio-cultural perspective, and a mimetic learning perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributing authors engage in a thoughtful exploration of the theoretical question of how to understand educational systems, learning, and social communication as historically situated practices. Within the chapters of this book, critical working practices are analyzed, encompassing the examination of the nature of learning, remembering, and cognitive work within practices involving diverse expertise, the facilitation of problem-solving and collaborative engagement, the exploration of learning and teaching in various formal, semi-formal, and non-formal environments, the adoption of a design-theoretic approach to learning, the exploration of social semiotic perspectives on learning, the recognition of the mimetic and ritual dimensions of learning, the organization of social learning to support students, and the conceptualization of learning in psychology and neighboring research areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense appeal to students and researchers passionate about learning and meaning-making, multimodal representations and communication, designs for learning, education, and teaching, and social achievement in diverse formal and non-formal contexts.
