| Community 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”. “Because its constituent terms specify each other, the term “community of practice” should be viewed as a unit” (Wenger,1998,p72). “communities of practice” have three dimensions: mutual engagement, joint enterprise, and a shared repertoire of actions, discourses, tools”. To become even a peripheral member of a community of practice, one must do some learning along [these] three dimensions” (Wenger,1998,p73). “The duality of participation and reification … is a fundamental of the constitution of communities of practice, of their evolution over time … of the identities of participants” (Wenger,1998,p65). |
