Situated Cognition and the Culture of Learning.
Brown, John Seely; And Others
Educational Researcher, v18 n1 p32-42 Jan-Feb 1989
Conventional schooling too often ignores the influence of school culture on what is learned in school. Knowledge is situated, being in part a product of the activity, context, and culture in which it is developed and used; this is known as cognitive apprenticeship. Implications for understanding learning and teaching are discussed. (Author/BJV)
