知识源于实践交流

Topics on Information Science这周的阅读材料是关于Situating learning的

Lave, Jean; Wenger, Etienne (1991). Situated Learning: Legitimate Peripheral Participation. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-42374-0.; first published in 1990 as Institute for Research on Learning report 90-0013

有些内容颇有启发

Firstly, learning is a social phenomenon when people participating social practice.Secondly, learning is a process of changing one’s knowledge and skill. One can change his identity in a group of people by the process of learning. Thirdly, be a master for a certain skill is an organizational and relational characteristic of practice communities.

PhD都有自己的研究领域或者学术小圈子，平时开开会，做做poster，写篇文章交流心得。在这个过程中，我们不断的跟同行share ideas，discuss questions, present curent research discovery. 慢慢的就在这个小圈子中建立了自己的identity，这样一个持续的过程中，我们不断提高自己的技能和知识，share和learn，小圈子越来越繁荣，渐渐就变成了一个很active and popular research domain

我的感受是，研究一定要brain storm，多跟同行讨论，才会有更新的观点，才会更快的汲取知识。即使是研究natural science或者engineering，也要考虑社会化的因素，学习不仅是人与知识，更是人与人的交流。

知识要实践我就不说了，大家都懂得
