This is certainly not a trivial challenge-particularly for schools.
The workplace, where our work has been concentrated, is perhaps
the easiest place to design because, despite the inevitable contradictions
and conflict, it is rich with inherently authentic practice-with
a social periphery that, as Orr's (1990) or Shaiken's (1990) work
shows, can even supersede attempts to impoverish understanding.
Consequently, people often learn, complex work skills despite
didactic practices that are deliberately designed to deskill.
Workplace designers (and managers) should be developing technology
to honor that learning ability, not to circumvent it.
