Description
Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation
This influential theoretical treatise explores the concept of situated learning, which posits that learning is fundamentally a social process. Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger argue that learning viewed as situated activity has legitimate peripheral participation at its core.
The authors examine how learners participate in communities of practitioners, moving towards full participation in sociocultural practices. This book provides insight into the crucial relations between newcomers and oldtimers, as well as their activities, identities, artifacts, knowledge, and practice.
