Abstract

Approaches to learning in educational scholarship may be characterised in terms of their affinity with two broad metaphors, those of learning as acquisition and learning as participation (Lave, 1997; Sfard, 2003, 2008). The relationships between and among frameworks in line with one or the other of these metaphors have been widely discussed in the literature, but less so in relation to teachers than to students.
