The primary unit of analysis of this process is neither the individual nor social institutions, but the informal 'communities of practice' that people form as they pursue shared enterprises over time. To give a social account of learning, the theory explores in a systematic way the intersection of issues of community, social practice, meaning, and identity. The result is a broad framework for thinking about learning as a process of social participation. This ambitious but thoroughly accessible framework has relevance for the practitioner as well as the theoretician, presented with all the breadth, depth, and rigor necessary to address such a complex and yet profoundly human topic.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Learning in Doing: Social, Cognitive and Computational PerspectivesTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 1999 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
