B. Collaborative Learning in Communities of Practice: Lave

bullet“I propose to consider learning not as a process of socially shared cognition that results in the end in the internalization of knowledge by individuals, but as a process of becoming a member of a sustained community of practice. Developing an identity as a member of a community and becoming knowledgeably skillful are part of the same process, with the former motivating, shaping, and giving meaning to the later, which it subsumes.” (Lave, 1991, p.65)
