In this important theoretical treatist, Jean Lave, anthropologist, and Etienne Wenger, computer scientist, push forward the notion of situated learning - that learning is fundamentally a social process. The authors maintain that learning viewed as situated activity has as its central defining characteristic a process they call legitimate peripheral participation (LPP). Learners participate in communities of practitioners, moving toward full participation in the sociocultural practices of a community. LPP provides a way to speak about crucial relations between newcomers and old-timers and about their activities, identities, artefacts, knowledge and practice. The communities discussed in the book are midwives, tailors, quartermasters, butchers, and recovering alcoholics, however, the process by which participants in those communities learn can be generalised to other social groups.
Participation is always based on situated negotiation and renegotiation of meaning in the world. This implies that understanding and experience are in constant interaction -- indeed, are mutually constitutive. The notion of participation thus dissolves dichotomies between cerebral and embodied activity, between contemplation and involvement, between abstraction and experience: persons, actions, and the world are implicated in all thought, speech, knowing, and learning.

What is called general knowledge is not privileged with respect to other "kinds" of knowledge. It too can be gained only in specific circumstances. And it too must be brought into play in specific circumstances. The generality of any form of knowledge always lies in the power to renegotiate the meaning of the past and future in constructing the meaning of present circumstances. (查看原文)

LPP的概念非常吸引人，难怪人人都要引用。我觉得有意思的地方还在于提供了一个比较社会结构的视角来理解学习。写的短小精悍。要说不满的话，就是对于实践共同体的结构，知识和技能的定义都很浅显。毕竟要用屠夫剁肉（还不是庖丁那种）和裁缝做衣服来类比学术知识好像有那么点别扭。可换个角度，作为个人如何被实践共同体接纳，这个角度来看，也未尝不可。这本书催生了一大批研究，接下来好好看一下。

认知发展与学习源于社会活动，日常的一举一动其实都可以归入learning的范畴，而不是传统的intentional instruction。衍生出太多有趣的思考。
