Communities of Practice

Project 3 | DTC 476Slide2

Communities of practice

Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a

passion

for something they do and

learn

how to do

it

better as they

interact regularly.

(

Note that this definition allows for, but does not assume, intentionality: learning can be

the

reason the community comes together

OR

an incidental outcome of member's

interactions.)Slide3

Characteristics of Communities of practice

#1 The Domain

A community of practice is not merely a club of friends or a network of

connections

between people. It has an identity defined by a shared domain

of interest

. Membership therefore implies a commitment to the domain,

and therefore

a shared competence that distinguishes members from other people. Slide4

Characteristics of Communities of practice

#2

The

Community

:

In pursuing their interest in their domain, members engage in

joint activities

and discussions, help each other, and share information. They

build relationships

that enable them to learn from each

other;

they care about

their standing

with

each otherSlide5

Characteristics of Communities of practice

#3

The

Practice:

A

community of practice is not merely a community of

interest -- people

who like certain kinds of movies, for

instance

. Members of a community of

practice

are practitioners. They develop a shared repertoire of resources:

experiences

, stories, tools, ways of addressing recurring

problems in

short a

shared

practice. This takes time and sustained interaction. Slide6

Values, ideologies, IdentitiesSlide7

values

Beliefs

or ideals shared by the members of a

community

about what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable.

n

ote: values are not the the same as morals, but values can influence moralsSlide8

ideologies

A

system of ideas and ideals, especially one that forms the basis of economic or political theory and policy

.

n

ote: ideologies are not the the same as values but they do often go hand-in-handSlide9

identities

The qualities of a person or group that make them similar to, or different from, others.

Related, personal identity is the

concept you develop about yourself that evolves over the course of your life

. Some of these aspects you control, others you don’t. Slide10

GROUP WORK
