The practice of learning

Abstract

This book grew out of the work of a two-part conference in which the participants came together to consider what we initially called "the context problem." All of us were involved in research on socially situated activity. We were concerned about conventional limitations on various approaches to the study of activity. In particular, we wished to explore questions about the "socially constituted world" – the context of socially situated activity – that our work often seemed merely to take for granted.
