Human learning, reasoning and thinking, and the different sites in
which these activities take place, are the focus of this book. It
presents the results of research into the nature of learning and
the influence of different contexts and factors within the context
of learning, the constraints that contexts place on reasoning and
learning, and the nature of learning when using the tools and
artefacts. It also addresses the nature of the influence of
technology on learning, focusing especially on information
technology and how it can influence any type of learning situation.
The book begins by asking whether the context determines the nature
of the knowledge to be learned, such that different sets of
contextual practices related to the knowledge in question need to
be acquired in order for learning to be successful. Next, it
describes the forms of reasoning and learning in social and
physical contexts, including but not limiting itself to logical
reasoning, and asks how particular types of context constrain or
activate different forms of reasoning and learning. It then looks
at people learning with computers, examining how IT resources
enhance or hinder learning. Finally, it compares human learning
with learning done by machines in specific contexts.
