Abstract: | In this paper we consider the significant issue of identity and how it relates to learning. Importantly, we narrow down the
study in terms of how projective identity interplays with learning from the point of view of the learner and his/her social
community. Self and community cannot be divorced. In order to illustrate this concept, we describe a case study involving
an 11 years old boy in a learning context commonly referred to as an informal learning environment. This environment would
include the community in which projective identity evolves. The trajectory of identity projection can be conceived in Ricoeurian
terms of a plot where actors perform actions in role playing situations. This plot metaphor is consistent to the many interactions
within MMPOGs and fictional worlds currently in existence. We conceive of an identity projection framework as our contributions
to knowledge. |
