Research Focus
Barbara Rogoff investigates cultural
variation in learning processes
and settings, with special interest in communities where schooling has
not been prevalent. She is particularly interested in cultural aspects
of collaboration, learning through observation, children's interest and
keen attention to ongoing events, roles of adults as guides or as
instructors, and children's opportunities to participate in cultural
activities or in age-specific child-focused settings.
