Bill and Phil--
As I interpret the work of the change lab idea, the notion is that participants
are led to reflect on current practices and their histories, contradictions,
and possible futures. In this process, they look not only what they have
done but what others have done in what appear to them analogous or
relevant circumstances and decide on a course of action which should probably
be called "next practices" with issues of "best practices" and the etymology
of this term bracketed.
An issue I have not found discussed is the extrapolation of zopeds in LBE
to the level of activity systems; clearly a lot of meanings change from
those put forth by Vygotsky in the context of testing in relation to
learning and development in schools and play.
I am still reading and considering Paul's summary of the second half of
4th ch.
