Situated Cognition and the Culture of Learning

Community of practice
Group of people sharing knowledge and in the solving of the problems learning takes place.

The learner learns under the guidance of an expert. This is similar to a trainer with his new missionary companion. The expert can not just model the activity or principle, the activity must be situated in a cognitive apprenticeship.
