Sample text

As we learn, we gradually become our villages: we internalize the diversity of viewpoints that collectively make sense of all that goes on in the community. At the same time, we develop values and identities: in small tasks and large projects, we discover the ways we like to work, the people we want to be, the accomplishments that make us proud. In all these activities we constantly need to make sense of the ideas and values of others, to integrate differing viewpoints and desires, different ways of talking and doing.

Children acquire positive learning dispositions, in other words, by being ‘apprenticed’ to a community within which such dispositions are naturally manifested, modelled, recognized, acknowledged and valued by the ‘elders’ by whom they are surrounded. The tools and attitudes of learning have to be nurtured within an educational milieu that affords, supports and encourages their expression and their development. This involves not the design of new programmes of study, nor even, in the main, the adoption of new forms of pedagogy, but an attention to the implicit values and assumptions of the culture, and to making sure that its objects, its tasks, its non-verbal signals and so on are consonant with the dispositions that the culture wishes to develop.

The challenges of living in a village define fundamental issues for both education and development. In his pioneering work on intellectual development, Lev S. Vygotsky (1934/1963) introduced the basic principle that the contents of our thinking and the habits of our lives originate in our social interactions with others. What we eventually come to feel as something within us begins first as something between us. At about the same time, Mikhail Bakhtin (1935/1981) was beginning to define the broad social diversity in how a community uses language to describe and evaluate the world.
