  • Constructing Learning Spaces in African Urban Micro-Industries. : A Case Study of Micro Metal Fabrication Industry in Kampala, Uganda

説明

This study aims to clarify how the learning contexts are constructed in Uganda’s urban micro metalwork industries. Informal micro-enterprises are widespread in Africa, where workers learn through work practices rather than through skill formation by schooling. This study focuses on the contexts of learning in situated learning and discusses the construction of learning contexts based on the analytical framework of “arena” and “setting” proposed by Lave (1988). Ethnographic methods were employed to unravel the practices of learning and the learners’ perceptions. From the results, apprentices acquire knowledge and skills by accumulating their experiences (“setting”) in the workshop as a given space (“arena”). On the other hand, in the case of the skilled workers, they did not take the “arena” as a given but speculatively moved to a new “arena” based on the “settings” and constructed contexts for learning. The learning contexts are not only existed in the community of practice as given but performatively created by speculative participation according to individuals’ experiences.
