摘要：The aim of this paper is to discuss how learning in group and organizational levels has been worked by Brazilian researchers and how the concept of social practice (GHERARDI, 2009b) helps in understanding these learning levels. Thus, the guiding question of the article is: under what lens Brazilian researchers are investigating learning in organizations in the group and organizational levels? The number of studies on organizational learning has grown not only in quantity but has had other dimensions of the theme (ANTONELLO; GODOY, 2010). In order to achieve the proposed goal a survey was conducted in the Brazilian literature about learning in group and organizational levels in the major journals in the area of management and in the annals of ANPAD events, for the period 2000 to 2011. The results show that there is a hegemony of studies that adopt the cognitive-psychological approaches to study the collective learning, both in group and organizational levels, and highlights the lack of studies that adopt other approaches with more sociological bias, as social practice, to respond to the limitations of cognitive-psychological approach.
