“…The acknowledgement of challenges such as evolving audience demographics and competition for funding demonstrates a shared awareness of the socio-cultural influences impacting their artistic practices (Participant 1). This collective recognition of challenges aligns with the social constructivist view that knowledge is co-constructed through shared experiences and interactions (Agius, 2013;Kim, 2001;Robbins, 2001). Furthermore, the reframing of challenges as opportunities, such as diversifying revenue streams and collaborating with local businesses, showcases a collective effort to adapt and innovate within the changing cultural landscape (Participant 1).…”

The influence of language on the formation of number concepts: Evidence from preschool children who are bilingual in English and Arabic

“…Vygotsky (1962) proposed that language is based on social interactions. This theory suggests that infants from birth are continuously engaging in social interactions within cultural contexts that lead to cognitive function development, which includes language and thoughts (Robbins, 2001).…”
