Communities Of Practice In School Context

Studies related to the Communities of Practice local and abroad, have advanced many design models and practical cases. The emergence of revelant studies on the one hand description of the Community of Practice on the attractiveness of the researchers, but on the other hand, in view of the "learner-centered" community development unique objectives and requirements of the real situation and the complexity of concrete, it is difficult to provide a inclusive design model. Therefore, for us, the important question is based on the design through a case study to explore two Shanghai-based courses on curriculum reform implementation background, how the practice of community development, effective in promoting learner's learning and development, how to generate Suitable for school-based practice situation of the communities framework and design processes. This also constitutes an attempt to resolve the wood on two basic issues.The research question determines research method. This study adopts a design-based research method, which is a new research paradigm trying to organically integrate pure theory research and application research. This systemic and flexible research method aims at improving educational practice and distilling the design principles and theories on the basis of the collaboration between researchers and practitioners in real-world settings and through an iterative analysis, design, development and implementation. In this paper involved in the study, researchers and teachers, students in both real and complex situation of school education, in a nearly three years of "intelligent interactive whiteboard system based on the primary effective teaching and research" in the implementation of the subject, and gradually generate The Communities of Practice's framework and operational strategies.The full text is divided into four parts:Chapter 1: Communities of Practice on the verge of legitimate members to participate in this capacity, core features, collect, organize, analyze a large number of reference materials at home and abroad, the Communities of practice Research at home and abroad are reviewed, as a thesis research and the basic point of reference.Chapter 2: Mainly from the learning environment, the study of science, Constructivism and learning a technical point of carding, analysis and perfected the practice of the theoretical basis for the community and its technical support for the establishment of the community under the present situation and model in order to improve the practice of the Community framework.Chapter 3: Community of Practice under the four major Category: Communities of Practice on Managers, Communities of Practice on Teachers, Communities of Practice on Students ,and Communities of Practice on Network, respectively, explain their specific characteristics and development strategies. Among them, "Community of Practice on Teachers" is as the main study. Community of Practice on Teachers, based on "intelligence-based interactive whiteboard effective system of primary teaching and research" subject the development and implementation process, including how to conduct a re-design, how the participants in the course of the analysis, based on the theme of how research organizations, Provide the resources and tools, and how evaluation. From the perspective of the teaching effectiveness of teachers practice the establishment of the Community strategy and evaluation factors. "Communities of Practice on Network", mainly explained by the technical design of our teachers practice site of the Community learning process and the current progress of site design.Chapter IV: In the conclusion of the Outlook section, first of all, the introduction to answer two basic questions, namely, the theoretical framework of the Community Practice, practice and how to nurture community problems. Furthermore, the study pointed out that the limitations and shortcomings and looking forward to further study.
