This study examined the learning through work processes of expert workers. A descriptive case study of expert workers involved in a small software development business formed the basis for the findings. Data gathering activities involved formal and informal interviews and extended observations. Analysis processes, based on a social constructivist perspective, included the involvement of participants to interpret the findings and construct patterns and themes. The findings are presented as a series of four articles.

520 $a This study examined the learning through work processes of expert workers. A descriptive case study of expert workers involved in a small software development business formed the basis for the findings. Data gathering activities involved formal and informal interviews and extended observations. Analysis processes, based on a social constructivist perspective, included the involvement of participants to interpret the findings and construct patterns and themes. The findings are presented as a series of four articles.
520 $a Building on socio-cognitive (Billett, 2001) and social constructivist (Brown and Duguid, 1991; Lave and Wenger, 1991) perspectives, the first article presents an emergent model of learning through work for expert workers. The findings reveal that experts learn by solving routine and novel problems and through processes such as prototyping. Routine problems were often solved individually as experts identified problem patterns and applied their expertise. Solving novel problems involved collaboration within internal communities of practice to engage in systematic problem definition, analysis and risk assessment processes. Experts sought additional information through the Internet and external networks.
520 $a The second article examined social capital as a factor in supporting learning through work. Based on a conceptual model introduced by Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998), the findings suggest that workers thrive in workplaces that feature strong cohesion and trust. Social capital facilitated the creation of internal communities of practice and the development of strong external networks.
520 $a The third article explored how prototyping processes supported learning through work. Experts used prototyping as a way to explicate complex ideas and concepts and participate in collaborative inquiry leading to discovery-based learning. Prototyping activities served as a means to systematically identify and explore novel problems.
520 $a The final paper examined how learning practice differs in and out of one's domain of expertise. As experts faced problems outside their scope of practice they sought to expand their networks in search of alternative sources of information and relied on their internal communities of practice as a means to work through issues and problems—engaging in a form of community-wide legitimate peripheral participation.
