Questions in Lessons: Activity Settings in the Homes and School of Two Puerto Rican Kindergartners

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This ethnographic study describes continuities and discontinuities between a bilingual kindergarten and the homes of two Spanish-dominant Puerto Rican children. The concept of activity setting was used to explore the relation of culture to question use in lessons taught in both settings. Findings highlight a complex web of continuities and discontinuities and the importance of the joint construction of a culture of teaching and learning by parents, teachers, and children.
