Description
This paper uses Lave and Wenger's (1991) notion of community of practice as a lens to analyse a study in a remote Indigenous Community where Indigenous blocklaying students are being supported to learn the mathematics necessary for certification. The paper shows that the blocklaying students' community of practice is rich in terms of what is shared amongst the members and with whom they interact, involving a sense of service to their community as well as an interest in building. The paper concludes by drawing some implications for teaching mathematics to such students.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
