	Jean Lave, Etienne Wenger and communities of practice
		Legitimate peripheral participation, Cambridge: University of Cambridge Press.
		Here there is a strong link here with long-standing concerns among informal educators around community and participation and for the significance of the group (for schooling see the discussion of informal education and schooling; for youth work see young people and association; and for communities see community participation).
		Learners inevitably participate in communities of practitioners and… the mastery of knowledge and skill requires newcomers to move toward full participation in the socio-cultural practices of a community.

	Situated Cognition
		An intriguing role in learning is played by "legitimate peripheral participation," where people who are not taking part directly in a particular activity learn a great deal from their legitimate position on the periphery (Lave and Wenger, in preparation).
		Learning from dictionaries, like any method that tries to teach abstract concepts independently of authentic situations, overlooks the way understanding is developed through continued, situated use.
		Learning and acting are interestingly indistinct, learning being a continuous, life-long process resulting from acting in situations.

	Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation, A Review
		For newcomers then, the purpose is not to learn from talk as a substitute for legitimate peripheral participation: it is to learn to talk as a key to legitimate peripheral participation.” pg 109
		It's a transitory concept, a bridge, between a view according to which cognitive processes and thus learning, are primary and a view according to which social practice is the primary, generative phenomenon, and learning is one of its characteristics.

	Amazon.co.uk: Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation (Learning in Doing: Social, Cognitive & Computational Perspectives S.): Books
		The authors maintain that learning viewed as situated activity has as its central defining characteristic a process they call legitimate peripheral participation.
		In this important theoretical treatise, Jean Lave, anthropologist, and Etienne Wenger, computer scientist, push forward the notion of situated learning--that learning is fundamentally a social process and not solely in the learner's head.
		The communities discussed in the book are midwives, tailors, quartermasters, butchers, and recovering alcoholics, however, the process by which participants in those communities learn can be generalized to other social groups.

		Based on case-studies of how newcomers learn in various occupational groups which are not characterised by formal training, they suggest that legitimate peripheral participation is the key.

		Knowledge is situated within the practices of the community of practice, rather than something which exists “out there” in books.
