Toward a Social Understanding of How People Learn in Organizations: The Notion of Situated Curriculum
Abstract
In this article we submit the view that learning in the workplace is to be understood both as a cognitive and a social activity. We support our claim by introducing and discussing the concept of `situated curriculum', a specific form of social order that instructs the socialization of novices within the context of ongoing work activities. We describe both the nature and features of the situated curriculum, discussing the factors that make it characteristic of a specific community of practice. Finally, after discussing some of the specific conceptual and practical problems related to the disclosure of the `situated curriculum', we shall illustrate some of the implications of the notion of the `situated curriculum' for the study of learning in organizations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
