Abstract
Research on workplace learning brings learning and working together and investigates the relationships between working and learning. Working and learning are determining factors of human activity, but are they in conflict with each other or is there a coincidence of working and learning? Where are the boundaries between working and learning and how can they be characterised? When discussing the boundary between learning and working, three questions arise: (1) How do boundaries become apparent? (2) Why should we cross these boundaries? (3) How can we cross these boundaries? This reader comprises attempts to approach these questions.
