Apprenticeship learning is a central macro-approach to how learning and teaching can take place, standing in contrast to schooling. In the apprenticeship learning approach, learning takes place in the real-life context in which the content to be learned is of immediate relevance. Learning is understood as developing expertise in practices relevant in the learner's current life, takes place in a fully contextualized way, and is situated in a meaningful social context of practitioners Apprenticeship learning is mostly applied to observable practices but can also be applied to cognitive skills. Bringing apprenticeship learning and schooling together to benefit from their unique strengths is a current trend in educational research and practice. © 2023 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
