Shared Thinking: Cultural and Institutional Variations.
Toma, Chikako; Rogoff, Barbara
Discourse Processes, v23 n3 p471-98 1997
Contrasts two models of instruction: building on ideas in shared endeavors; and transmit-and-test formats. Discusses how these contrasting formats may relate to interactional patterns observed in toddlers and caregivers in a Mayan and a middle-class European-American community; and elementary school children in Japan and the United States.
