Sharing talk, sharing cognition: philosophy with children as the basis for productive classroom interaction by Laura Kerslake, Sarah Rimmington

“…We go on to explore the consequences of educational attainment for those children who enter school with impoverished language, referring to a number of key studies, including our own, which highlight the detrimental effects not only on children’s outcomes at school, but also their ability to become equal inhabitants of a linguistic space. Therefore we argue that a focus on oracy skills crucially underpins wider outcomes. …”

Violet glasses… but with what lenses? Theoretical routes between the production and the reproduction of work by Andreina Colombo

“…Using the analogy of the “purple glasses”, three different approaches are identified: (i) with single vision lenses (looking at either production or reproduction), which attempts to describe the two realms from the viewpoint of only one of the two, ii) with bifocal lenses, which consider productive and reproductive work as equally relevant, while establishing clear-cut differences between the two, and iii) with progressive lenses, which allow us to see the two domains as part of a continuum, stressing their simultaneities, overlays and intermittencies . …”
