CANCELLED: Interrelations Between Community, Family, and the Individual: A Triarchic Examination of Learning

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

Phan’s Triarchic Framework of Learning postulates that social processes situated within different contexts influence learning and development. Of particular prominence are three major sociocultural influences: community and its related attributes (e.g. financial, social); an individual’s family within the community; and the individual himself/herself. This symposium explores the educational implications of the Framework through the presentation of four related papers. The first paper describes the main tenets of the Framework and its development in Australia and the South Pacific. The next two papers focus on specific levels of the Framework and explore influences on learning and educational attainment in the context of research examples from the Asia-Pacific region. The final paper examines the links made between all papers in this symposium.
