• Cognitive Apprenticeship
  • The situated-cognition argument anchoring tensions T3–T6 traces to Brown, Collins, and Duguid's (1989) Educational Researcher article "Situated Cognition and the Culture of Learning."

    This sourceArgues knowledge is bound to its acquisition context and decontextualized transmission yields inert knowledge — the situated-cognition basis for tensions T3–T6 (D48-013). Verified existing and supporting (DOI resolves).

• Pedagogy
  • The success criterion of pedagogy is capability change in the learner, not message receipt, a separation Brown, Collins, and Duguid (1989) drove home when they argued that disembedded transmission routinely produces inert knowledge that cannot be wielded in the practice it ostensibly describes.
