Abstract
The chapters in this section deal with dialogues occurring at school, i.e. the other main context of children’s socialization, at least within northwestern societies (Figueroa and Baquedano-Lòpez 2017). In most countries, in fact, children face a major developmental task – the separation from their primary caregivers – from their first months of life when they are introduced to the nursery school. In this institutional context, they learn to cope with a different culture and social organi- zation through the “dialogues” they engage or are involved in with the members of this social community: professionals and other children (Howard and Burdelski 2020; Baquedano-Lòpez and Kattan 2008; Wilkinson 1982; Goodwin and Kyrayzis 2007). Since then and often until high school, the cognitive, social, cultural, and moral development of the new generations is (also) the outcome of their academic life (Heath 1983; Rampton 2006; Bourdieu and Passeron 1977).
