The full reference for the Berk & Winsler book is:
Berk, L. E., & Winsler, A. (1995). _Scaffolding children's learning:
Vygotsky and early childhood education_. Washington, DC: National
Association for the Education of Young Children.
The monograph is available at NAEYC for $8 [1 (800) 424-2460] (PS. I
don't receive any money for this) There are many references in the book
itself that may help as well. Another article I thought of off hand that
might be helpful for this purpose is:
Brown, J. S., Collins, A., & Duguid, P. (1989). Situated cognition and
the culture of learning. _Educational Researcher, 18 _, 32?42.
Good luck and Happy New Year!
