Overview
in apprenticeship learning target skills are not only continually in use by skilled practitioners, but are instrumental in completing meangingful tasks
learning of skills and knowledge embedded in social and functional context 456
The biggest difference between agentive apprenticeships and cognitive apprenticeship is the focus on growing the network and spaces of learning rather than focusing solely on strategy use by the individual learner.
Theoretical Perspective
History of Cognitive Apprenticeship
Differences Between Cognitive Apprenticeship and Agentive Apprenticeship
Design Goals
cognitive apprenticeships: “designed to teach the process experts use to handle complex tasks p. 457”
agentive apprenticeships
designed to support community goals through learner growth
Learning Process
cognitive apprenticeship
learning through guided experienced
agentive apprenticeship
learning through a networked experience
Network Thinking
cognitive apprenticeship
require extensive techniques to encourage the development of self correction and monitoring skills 458
agentive apprenticeship
- these skills are encouraged, documented, and parsed using blogging and social media tools
- use of karma and gamification for documentation and dopamine
- personal goal setting
Network Technologies and Abstracted Replay
- social media networks (plenty of SNA data available? useful? usually just noise redone in pretty pictures)
- blogging
- chat rooms
Feedback
Cognitive Apprenticeship was so much about how to deliver feedback. (see the tehcnical reports from Brown, Collins, Dugiuid) and to encourage metacognitive stretgy use. Even here the metacognition was usually focused on outcome driven feedback.
If you look at you can see how these feedback loops emerge.
For these we utlized Gee's Circuit of Reflective Inquiry to operationalize how feedback occurs in agentive apprenticeship.
Increasingly times this feedback is provided my non human actors. In the IndieWeb community for example participants use parsers to check to see if their websites are built correctly. In #DS106 these feedback loops are strengthened with a wide network of alumni and enthusiasts who may come across a post by a student after it was shared by a bot. DS106 also uses a daily assignment bot that posts a creative challenge veryday

I query Loqi and then find examples of how other people do pagination in their urls.
