We now can begin to turn the observations of the previous chapter into objects to be analyzed. In the following sections, we recast the central characteristics of these several historical realizations of apprenticeship in terms of legitimate peripheral participation. First, we discuss the structuring resources that shape the process and content of learning possibilities and apprentices' changing perspectives on what is known and done. Then we argue that “transparency” of the sociopolitical organization of practice, of its content and of the artifacts engaged in practice, is a crucial resource for increasing participation. We next examine the relation of newcomers to the discourse of practice. This leads to a discussion of how identity and motivation are generated as newcomers move toward full participation. Finally, we explore contradictions inherent in learning, and the relations of the resulting conflicts to the development of identity and the transformation of practice.

... CoP are defined 'as groups of people informally bound together by shared expertise and passion for a joint enterprise, who interact regularly to learn about or improve their practice' (Nicolini et al., 2022, p. 680). Central to the formation of CoP is the idea of legitimate peripheral participation (LPP) which stems from interest Lave and Wenger (1991) had in recapturing the term 'apprenticeship'. Situated learning is not based on formal instruction, rather, the focus is on the day-today practices established by CoP members (McDonald and Cater-Steel, 2017;Mercieca, 2017;Jones et al., 2021a). ...

... Legitimately, the concept of community interaction as a feature of situational learning emphasises that learning is thought to be participation of members in the community has direct association for service learning. Acting in the real world according to the proponents of situational learning theory is also worksite appropriate for learning (Lave & Wenger, 2002). However, this circumstance matches the workplace structure in most Service-Learning settings which support students' reflection, community experimentations and self-conception (Kiely, 2005). ...

... This interdisciplinary paper brings together socio-cultural theories of learning (Dreier, 1999& 2008, Lave & Wenger, 1991, Guile, 2010, failure theory in relation to education and entrepreneurialism (Stretch & Roehrig, 2021) and performance theory (Schechner, 2013). In doing so, we examine the ways in which students navigate complex individual trajectories across a practical Higher Education (HE) programme situated within a specialist building. ...

... During Pre-pilot 1, a group of six lecturers at the bachelor's degree Program in Education at UCL collaborated on innovative, participatory research-and development activities in a way that corresponded with the UNESCO framework for ESD and the Frascati Manual for ' Research-and-Development' at HE (Frascati Manual, OECD 2015, p. 42-42). The UCL teacher group collaborated as a community of practice (COP) (Lave & Wenger, 2001) on the development of experimental, cross curricular teaching activities in bachelor subjects of 'English as a Foreign Language' and 'Nature & Technology' in spring 2023. The activities focused on 'Sand mining and Sustainability' in a local, regional, and global perspective, with reference to the UNSDGs and the scientific work of Mette Bendixen at McGill University in Canada (Bendixen et al., 2021). ...
