Conclusion: the learning lives of new Norwegians Summary "This book offers a case study of children and young people in Groruddalen, Norway, as they live, study and work within the contexts of their families, educational institutions and informal activities. Examining learning as a life-wide concept, the study reveals how 'learning identities' are forged through complex interplays between young people and their communities, and how these identities translate and transfer across different locations and learning contexts. The authors also explore how diverse immigrant populations integrate and conceptualize their education as a key route to personal meaning and future productivity. In highlighting the relationships between education, literacy and identity within a sociocultural context, this book is at the cutting edge of discussions about what matters as children learn"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-255) and index Notes Print version record Subject Education -- Social aspects -- Norway -- Groruddalen -- Case studies Learning -- Social aspects -- Norway -- Groruddalen -- Case studies Community and school -- Norway -- Groruddalen -- Case studies Multicultural education -- Norway -- Groruddalen -- Case studies PSYCHOLOGY -- General.
