Learning from Participation

This paper provides an empirical contribution to learning as participation for newly educated. The unit of analysis is learning as situated in social practices, discussing how and what newcomers learn through participation. They recognize the importance of getting access to apply educational knowledge as knowing in professional work. How they learn is mostly through observations of colleagues, where they would prefer to get more access to colleagues and be able to practice together with them. They learn to apply knowledge as knowing on how to perform, in learning as participation, characterized by observations, conversations and through practice, which needs to be highlighted as superior.
