| Practice | A way of doing something, the pattern of which is reproduced in a social context [ie work] according to certain rules. A recurrent rule-governed behaviour. Practice is always performed in “a historical and social context that gives structure and meaning to what we do” (Wenger,1998,p47). It is framed by “knowledge resources (formal, explicit and technical, on the one hand, informal, tacit, social, cultural and discursive on the other) that are produced and accessed metaphorically as rules” (Blackler 95, Bereiter and Scardemalia 93). |
