Title: *Children's learning from others and teaching others as selection of
their own social partners*
Date: Wednesday, 17 October 2018
Time: 17:00-18:30
Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Oktober 6 st. 7, room 10
Abstract:
Humans engage in various forms of social interactions and are selective of
their own social partners. In this talk, I will first present data
addressing how young children select social partners in their learning and
teaching particularly asking what might guide and modulate children’s
selection of their learning partners. First, I will demonstrate that
children’s selection of their learning partners is not an all-or-none kind
of problem. Rather, they seem to be flexible, considering whether someone
can be a potentially valuable social partner. Second, children's selective
learning and teaching do not show parallel performance. Moreover, their
selective learning and teaching are modulated by culture. Next, turning to
metacognitive aspects of learning and teaching, I will present data showing
that young children’s sensitivity to their own knowledge states is enhanced
in social interaction e.g., an informing context. Together, I argue that
children’s notion of learning partners is both facilitated and constrained
by social and cultural contexts. Finally, I will present preliminary data
exploring a developmental precursor to a sensitivity to own uncertainty.
We are looking forward to see you.
