RE : [xmca] Fwd: FW: The New Science of Learning

["Rahm Jrene" <jrene.rahm@umontreal.ca>]

Hi all,
Building on previous comments, I would like to know more about what distinguishes the field The new science of learning from what we had before or still have, like situated cogntion, distributed cognition, practice theory.... or simply cognitive science as a field, etc. and what is the relation between the new science of learning and sociocultural-historical theory. Is it useful to have more divisions? Jrene

I think there must be a "social gene" which helps children 
learn when they interact with other people. Better give a 
billion dollar grant to some Institute for Brain Science to 
investigate this.
