Toward a social understanding of how people learn in organizations: the notion of situated curriculum
S. Gherardi, D. Nicolini, et al. 1998 Journal of Management Learning; Special Issue on Organizational Learning n. 3, p. 273-297.

In this article, the authors assert that learning in the workplace is to be understood both as a cognitive and a social activity. They support their claim by introducing and discussing the concept of 'situated curriculum', a specific form of social order that instructs the socialization of novices within the context of ongoing work activities. They describe both the nature and features of the situated curriculum, discussing the factors that make it characteristic of a specific community of practice.
