Abstract
We continue the discussion of cognitive and situative perspectives
by identifying several important points on which we judge the perspectives
to be in agreement: (a) Individual and social perspectives on activity
are both fundamentally important in education; (b) Learning can be
general, and abstractions can be efficacious, but they sometimes
aren’t; (c) Situative and cognitive approaches can cast light on
different aspects of the educational process, and both should be
pursued vigorously; (d) Educational innovations should be informed
by the available scientific knowledge base and should be evaluated
and analyzed with rigorous research methods.
