Putting more practice into communities of practice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Paper is based on the evaluation of a sample of communities of practice formed with funding from Reframing the Future in 2002. The paper provides three good practice examples from the 2002 communities that were effective in identifying, reflecting upon and improving their practice, such as their ideas, tools and work styles. This reflection on practice was particularly apparent in the following ways: the participants’ examination of their assessment and delivery strategies, their focus on improving their collaboration with their peers and their expressed desire to improve their negotiations with clients. The paper adds to the collective knowledge in the vocational education and training (VET) sector about the value of communities of practice for improving practice.
