大多数学习理论的目的在于研究人们学习的途经和影响人们学习的因素。Lave and Wenger也对认知学习理论强调个人学习的观点提出了质疑,认为我们不能忽略一个重要影响学习的因素——学习环境。通常人们的思想、行为和感受都会被社会环境所影响和发展,参加情景活动(Situated activity)的学习者们会在真实的体验不断从他人身上学习从而提高自己,这就是“情境学习”。 The purpose of most learning theories is to study the ways people learn and influence people’s learning. Lave and Wenger also questioned the view that cognitive learning theory emphasizes personal learning, thinking that we can not ignore one important factor that affects learning - the learning environment. Usually people’s thoughts, behaviors and feelings are influenced and developed by the social environment. The learners who participate in the activity of standing will continue to learn from others and improve themselves through the real experience. This is the “situation learning” .
