As part of the formative activities organized by academic committees MIPE and DIPE graduate programs, professor Charles Bazerman of the University of California, USA, will give the workshop entitled:
“Doing Cognitive Research from a Socio-cultural Perspective”
This workshop will explore what value cognitive and socio-cultural studies have for each other, but how the differences in perspectives create methodological challenges. Professor Bazerman will examine the problems he had to solve in doing such studies, including a study of cognitive development within a teacher education program, with a focus on the effect of genre and intertextualty. Participants will also share their work and how they are addressing such challenges.
