Learning Lab
Learning Lab (LL) is a research methodology developed in 2011 by Aydin Bal that provides research-based guidelines for local stakeholders to develop productive family-school-community partnerships and design behavioral support systems that are culturally responsive to diverse needs, strengths, practices, and goals of all stakeholders within a local school community. The Learning Lab builds organizational capacity in schools and school districts by forming an inclusive problem solving team of multiple local stakeholders (teachers, education leaders, families, students, and local community representatives). In Learning Labs, local stakeholders, specifically those who are historically marginalized from schools’ decision-making activities, collectively examine disparities in behavioral outcomes in their local schools and develop solutions through systemic transformation. The Learning Lab methodology was adapted from the change laboratory methodology and is grounded in Cultural H ...

It traces its origins to the founders of the cultural-historical school of Russian psychology L. S. VygotskyYasnitsky, A. (2018)Vygotsky: An Intellectual Biography London and New York: RoutledgBOOK PREVIEW/ref> and Aleksei N. Leontiev. Vygotsky's important insight into the dynamics of consciousness was that it is essentially subjective and shaped by the history of each individual's social and cultural experience.

Core ideas are: 1) ...
