Reflections on How the Theory of Practice Architectures is Being Used in the Nordic Context

In these reflections, I make some brief comments about how the theory of practice architectures has been used in this volume, and then take up two specific issues. The first concerns the European notion of Bildung and its relationship to the English notion of education; the second concerns the nature of the relationship between ‘teachers’ and ‘researchers’ in Nordic action research, study circles, and research circles described in Chapters Three, Four, Five and Six.
