*Sunae Kim: Children's learning and teaching as social and cultural
selection**
*
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 factors guide and modulate
children’s selection of their learning partners. Then, turning to
metacognitive aspects of learning and teaching, I will present data
showing that young children’s sensitivity to their own knowledge states
is better elicited in a social interaction (e.g., informing others) than
is traditionally argued. Together, I argue children’s notion of
learning partners is both facilitated and constrained by social
interactions.
