Talk:Situated learning

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EntmootsOfTrolls would have liked this article to be part of User:EntmootsOfTrolls/WikiProject Body, Cognition and Senses, which provides guidelines for articles on those topics, and seeks stronger cross-linkage and cross-cultural treatment of all of these topics.

Could use more on the development of perspective, and training of cognition and perception as part of the task. Might also make mention of guilds which traditionally employed only this kind of education, in contrast to the university which was more focused on ethics and moral code inculcation - training to tell people what to do, etc.

the intro statement for what situated learning is is incorrect - SL is learning in context, not bounded by classrooms. In fact, lave and Wenger, who coined the term, argue that the situated nture of learning confounds classroom instruction, and avoided talking about SL-as-pedagogy

[edit] Expanding context

I think this article is a good stand-alone topic. I've added sections, and included an association with another article Learning objects. WikiProject Education has requested expansion of this article which is linked from Portal:Education • CQ 20:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
