"Literature Survey The Importance of Community to Learning The concept of learning communities has been discussed for more than two decades (Caverly & McDonald, 2002). Research has clearly shown that functioning in a community can enhance the learning that occurs among community members (Hargis, 2005; Kember, 1987; Powers & Mitchell, 1997). While community has been defined in the education literature in many different ways (Boyer, 1995; Hill, 1996; McMillan & Chavis, 1986; Preece, 2000; Rogoff, 1994; Sergiovanni, 1994), below are elements of community frequently identified: 1) A sense of shared purpose 2) Establishment of boundaries defining who is a member and who is not 3) Establishment and enforcement of rules/policies regarding community behavior 4) Interaction among members, and 5) A level of trust, respect and support among community members"
