  Summary: In this article, Jean Lave, Ph. D. and social anthropologist, proposes that learning be a process of becoming a member of a community of practice rather than a social cognition shared to internalize knowledge. While seeing learning through social and cultural lenses has sparked discussion about socially shared cognition, Lave believes that such a perspectives can undermine the complexities of a learner's identity by imposing oversimplified boundaries between the individual and "some version" of the outside world. Rather than being restrictive, Lave prescribes a more general theory to encompass personal learning-the theory of socially situated activity. This theory centers on three strategies of inquiry-counterintuitive definitions of learning, reversed points of cultural view, and historical analysis of cognitive process.
