Learning in activity

The individual cognitive and the interactional approaches emphasize different aspects of learning, and all of these aspects need to be addressed in the learning sciences. situative research can be represent two illustrative examples. These are the individual cognitive approach:

focus on information structures and processes; and the interactional approach: focus on

participation structures and processes. The situative perspective is a synthesis of the two major scientific approaches to understanding human behavior: cognitive science and interactional studies. It combines the strengths of each of these approaches with the goal of better understanding how learning occurs and how to design learning environments.

How can students use concepts, methods and arguments of learning in these environments?
