Cognitive+Apprenticeship

Process of enculturation into a community of practitioners practicing authentic practices through activity and social interaction similar to craft apprenticeship. (Brown, Collins & Duguid, 1989) Brown et al argue that:

"...we argue that approaches such as //cognitive apprenticeship// (Collins, Brown, & Newman, in press) that embed learning in activity and make deliberate use of the social and physical context are more in line with the understanding of learning and cognition that is emerging from the research." (pg 32)

unit of analyses for cognitive learning: knowledge, perception, memory, inference, decision (Greeno, 1997)

Often, the term //cognitive// //apprenticeship// does not refer to the acquiring of physical skills //per se// but rather skills of the cognitive domain (Collins, Brown, and Newman, 1989).
