`This book makes a plea for recreating thinking about knowledge, learning and pedagogy in the context of challenges posed by change-both cultural and technological. Bruner emphasizes that in coming to know, our own knowledge needs to be worked on and transformed, assisted by the toolhouse that is culture. This collection stands as a rich resource from which to exercise our thoughts and reflect on our activities as educators′ - British Educational Research Journal
