Summary

This volume looks at school-university partnerships from the perspective of a social theory of learning that views participation in social practice as fundamental to the process of learning and knowing. Its two major themes - school-university partnership and sociocultural and social theories of learning - have both been treated extensively in the literature. It is the bringing together of these two themes that makes this book unique.
