Jean Lave, Etienne Wenger and communities of practice - 0 views
-
Supposing learning is social and comes largely from of our experience of participating in daily life? It was this thought that formed the basis of a significant rethinking of learning theory in the late 1980s and early 1990s by two researchers from very different disciplines - Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger. Their model of situated learning proposed that learning involved a process of engagement in a 'community of practice'.
-
When looking closely at everyday activity, she has argued, it is clear that 'learning is ubiquitous in ongoing activity, though often unrecognized as such' (Lave 1993: 5).
-
Communities of practice are formed by people who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain of human endeavour: a tribe learning to survive, a band of artists seeking new forms of expression, a group of engineers working on similar problems, a clique of pupils defining their identity in the school, a network of surgeons exploring novel techniques, a gathering of first-time managers helping each other cope. In a nutshell: 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. (Wenger circa 2007)

The iSchool Initiative's mission is to advocate, support and implement technological advancement for students and educators in the 21st century. In order to accomplish this, we have three primary objectives: raising awareness for the technological needs of the classroom, providing collaborative research on the use of technology in the classroom, and guiding schools in the implementation of this technology. We are a partnership between students, teachers, school administrators, and software application developers, providing a platform for each to comprehend the other's needs. We produce newsletters, blogs, videos and seminars to further spread the word, as well as conduct our own research and test new apps and other forms of technology to be used in the modern classroom. To enhance their learning, we also encourage students to become advocates for the greater use of technology in their education.

"It is very important we help students in our classrooms develop deeper, broader, authentic world views through the information we share and collaborative activities in which we engage together during and after class. It is also critical we help students develop values like respect, empathy, and compassion. Learning is most powerful when it is experiential and connected to the real world, and more opportunities than ever are available to help bring these types of learning experiences to your students. Here are several ideas for research resources and class projects you should consider this year."

And, better yet, how can we work together to help forge this new path forward? We are very excited to introduce Edutopia Groups, where educators can network, collaborate, support and innovate our way into this new world, together."
