Enculturation: Contemporary Use in the Learning Sciences from a Historical Perspective

Abstract

We are working on an extended literature review to create a useful framework that elucidates the complex process of enculturation for the learning sciences. The purpose of this poster is to present our progress based upon issues and dilemmas that have come up in disciplines that have examined enculturation, with the goal of applying them to educational contexts. Such a framework can inform current learning sciences researchers as they appropriate this fundamental learning concept.
