Session Type: Symposium
As learning is increasingly understood as occurring across formal and informal settings, a variety of metaphors have become necessary to explore the authentic learning lives of young people. Notions of “pathways” and “trajectories,” as well as characterizations of learning as “lifelong,” “life-wide” and “life-deep,” among others, are helpful (Banks, 2007). Within these, importance is given to characterizing when, where, and what types of learning opportunities are being presented to youth, and how these environments connect with one another. In this session, researchers leading work in these areas will share methodological strategies and findings and speak across these various understandings of learning lives in ways that may allow for envisioning new kinds of learning environments that span in-school and out-of-school settings.
