guided participation

a process in which the influences of social partners and sociocultural practices combine in various ways to provide children and other learners with direction and support, while the learners themselves also shape their learning engagements. It occurs not only during explicit instruction but also during routine activities and communication in everyday life. See sociocultural perspective. [proposed in the early 1980s by U.S. developmental psychologist Barbara Rogoff (1950– )]
