Jean Lave

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean Lave (2014)

Jean Lave ( PhD ) is an American professor of ethnography , sociology and anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley in the Department of Geography .

In 1988, Lave showed that housewives in Irvine , California had mastered the math of price comparisons for consumer goods, but in a classroom-like environment that was no longer capable.

She is a representative of the concept of “participatory learning”, which includes a reorganization of the teaching situation. The teacher-student constellation is dissolved in favor of a master-novice constellation in the craft trades. The novice should learn from the master and, in the course of time, adapt his abilities to those of the master, even exceed them.
