Peter Henschel：学习的七原则
2003年，从毛向辉（Isaac Mao，非常可惜，现在看不到他的学习研究思想了）处了解到这七个对他有深远影响的学习原则。今天再读，果然非常精辟。实践即学习，学习即实践；终身不辍的学习，对我们而言不但是知识求取的需要，而且已是帮助我们通过实践融入社会的必经途径；“活到老，学到老”。短短的七个原则，包含了多么深的学习基本原理。
Peter Henschel：Seven Principles of Learning
1. Learning is fundamentally social. While learning is about the process of acquiring knowledge, it actually encompasses a lot more. Successful learning is often socially constructed and can require slight changes in one’s identity, which make the process both challenging and powerful.
2. Knowledge is integrated in the life of communities. When we develop and share values, perspectives, and ways of doing things, we create a community of practice.
3. Learning is an act of participation. The motivation to learn is the desire to participate in a community of practice, to become and remain a member. This is a key dynamic that helps explain the power of apprenticeship and the attendant tools of mentoring and peer coaching.
4. Knowing depends on engagement in practice. We often glean knowledge from observation of, and participation in, many different situations and activities. The depth of our knowing depends, in turn, on the depth of our engagement.
5. Engagement is inseparable from empowerment. We perceive our identities in terms of our ability to contribute and to affect the life of communities in which we are or want to be a part.
6. Failure to learn is often the result of exclusion from participation. Learning requires access and the opportunity to contribute.
7. We are all natural lifelong learners. All of us, no exceptions. Learning is a natural part of being human. We all learn what enables us to participate in the communities of practice of which we wish to be a part.
