Abstract
To better understand the mechanism of knowledge shifts in a learning classroom, we
combined two approaches/methodologies that are usually carried out separately: The
Abstraction in Context approach with the RBC+C model and the Documenting
Collective Activity approach with its methodology. This combination revealed that
some students functioned as Knowledge Agents, meaning they were active in shifts of
knowledge among individuals in a group, or from one small group to another one, or
from their group to the whole class or within the whole class. The teacher as an
orchestrator of the learning process is responsible to provide a learning environment
that affords argumentation and interaction, in order to enable normative ways of
reasoning to be established and to enable students to be active and become knowledge
agents.
