This paper intends to propose a discussion about the contributions of two different approaches of learning theories - situated learning and learning from experience - to the understanding of the learning process of the strategy practitioners. The discussion is based on a theoretical framework that includes adult learning, learning in the work, situated learning, learning from experience and strategy-as-practice. We argue that theories of adult learning that emphasizes the social-practical context as situated learning - that includes the concept of communities of practice, could generate insights for future researches and indicates points of intersection with the strategy-as-practice - considering that both focus on actions and interactions between people that, collectively, learn and build the strategy. In the other hand, learning from experience proposes that the person (or the strategy practioner) interpret his/her experience, in a socio-cultural context, giving it a sense. We discuss the convergent and divergent points between the two approaches and the contributions that could help future studies about the phenomenon of learning process of the strategy practitioners.
