Abstract
Despite current prevalence of constructivist epistemologies, the practice of teaching adults continues to reflect representational approaches to meaning. In this roundtable discussion, we explore the use of Giddens’ theory of structuration as a framework for deepening our understanding of the lack of change in teaching.

In this roundtable discussion, we explore the use of Giddens’ theory of structuration as a framework for deepening our understanding of the lack of change in teaching.
