Description
Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger's seminal work Situated Learning offers a groundbreaking approach to understanding how we learn. Traditionally, theories of learning have focused on individual cognitive processes, but Lave and Wenger challenge this perspective by examining learning as a social phenomenon.
The authors' hypothesis is that learning can be seen as a continuously evolving set of relationships situated within a social context. This new framework places discussions of apprenticeship and workplace learning on a new footing, highlighting the importance of interaction with experts and peers in a community organized around a common interest.
Published in 2018, this book has had a significant impact on business and management scholarship, demonstrating that effective learning is dependent on its social situation. This insightful analysis is essential reading for anyone interested in education, pedagogy, or the fields of business and economics.
