EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS AND BORDERS THROUGH A CULT...

This book provides a context of discussion for researchers and educational experts in order to
rethink the relationship between actors  practices and borders within the educational contexts.
The research in educational psychology has often challenged the concept of educational context.
According to the different theoretical frameworks  the construct of contexts  their borders and
the dimensions to be taken into account have all been defined in different ways. The book
offers a reflection that goes from theory to practice and backward from practice to theory. The
main research questions the book addresses are how actors  i.e. teachers  parents and students
educators and professionals  with their own identity and social representations  build their
educational practices or their shared cultural spaces where knowledge is generated  defining
the borders of the educational contexts. The book proposes that a border is a type of membrane
within and outside the educational setting bringing together different actors  groups and
cultures. The book presents the perspectives of scholars and educational experts from various
parts of the world  including Brazil  Argentina  Italy  Japan  and the United Kingdom. They
shed light on what happens at the border in different cultural contexts and what the
relationship is between the educational setting and the other life contexts or micro-cultures.
