Perspectives on Learning, Thinking, and Activity.
Anderson, John R.; Greeno, James G.; Reder, Lynne M.; Simon, Herbert A.
Educational Researcher, v29 n4 p11-13 May 2000
Discusses the cognitive and situative research approaches, identifying several points on which they agree (e.g., individual and social perspectives on activity are fundamental in education; learning can be general, and abstractions can be efficacious, but sometimes they are not; and situative and cognitive approaches can cast light on different aspects of the educational process and should be pursued vigorously).
