Abstract

Inthispaperwestudythediscourseoflearninginpractice.Wecombinemicrosociologicalandmultimodalinteractionanalysiswithclassical learningtheoryinordertoproducedetailedknowledgeonhowlearningprocessestakeplaceinprofessionalpractice.Weanswertwoimportant questions: How do people learn via participating in a professional practice? How can we use micro analysis of professional practice to create more effective and efficient learning processes? Our data consists of three recent research projects conducted among interns doing their internship periods as nurses (Kjær 2014), journalists (Gravengaard & Rimestad 2015) and communication advisors (Gravengaard forthc.) using observations, videobased ethnography, interviews, focus groups and e-mail enquetes. These research projects analyse interns entering a particular professional community of practice (Wenger 1998) and the socialisation processes wheretheinterns,vialegitimateperipheralparticipation(Lave&Wenger1991)learnbothprofessionalnormsandcraftskillsandtherebybecome culturally competent and develop professional vision (Goodwin 1994). Based on insights from interaction research, conversation analysis, and learning theory, our microanalytical studies provide a detailed analyses of the socialisation processes and something tangible to base these analyses on. In all projects, this knowledge is combined with the new research value chain (Gravengaard 2017) and makes it possible to conduct videobased workshops involving practitioners in analysing data and designing new types of practice using the VirTi method (Due & Lange 2015).
