Source text - English Situated cognition
One important discussion in informal (and formal) learning is the understanding of situated cognition and enculturation. Reading 1.2 contains an extract of some of these ideas. Situate cognition and enculturation may be credited to the work of Lev Vygotsky.
The theoretical contention behind these ideas is that a person’s development (and hence learning) is always situated, socially and culturally. What this means then, is that learning must be contextualised in a particular sociocultural setting.
For example, the teaching of addition/subtraction in financial mathematics should be done at the local market. Likewise, learning how to swim should be done at the local swimming pool (and not really in a tutorial workshop).
Translation - French Cognition située
Une discussion importante en ce qui concerne l’apprentissage informel (et formel) est la compréhension de la cognition située et de l’enculturation. La Lecture 1.2 contient un extrait de certaines de ces idées. La cognition située et l’enculturation sont attribuées aux travaux de Lev Vygotsky.
La contention théorique sous-jacente à ces idées est que le développement d’un individu (et de ce fait, son apprentissage) est toujours situé, socialement et culturellement. Cela veut dire que l’apprentissage doit être contextualisé dans un environnement socio-culturel.
Par exemple, l’enseignement de l’addition/soustraction en mathématiques financières devrait se faire au marché local. De même, c’est à la piscine locale que l’on devrait apprendre à nager (non pas dans un tutoriel).
