Abstract

The goal of this work is to evaluate the worth of learning, that resulted from student participation in a cross-organizational (industry-academia) Community of Practice (CoP). CoPs are groups of people who share common interest in a field and connect to co-create knowledge and competence within that. In this study, the CoP was integrated in a Higher Education Design course that was following a blended-learning approach. Internal and external collaboration was primarily facilitated through online technologies.

The study employs the Value Creation framework to analyze the types and value of co-created learning and explores these results to draw inferences as to the effects of CoP participation on the learners' identities, which were continuously being reformulated.

The resulting CoP interactions indicated a strong immediate learning value. These also generated new insights (potential value) and familiarized learners with the characteristics of the real-world practice. The effective transfer of knowledge into the academic practice was confirmed by the significant improvements in student performances (applied & realized value). Finally, CoP participation steered a shift in learner perspectives, by pragmatically transforming their perception of achievement and orientating them towards transitioning and evolving in the professional sphere (reframed value).

跨组织实践社区中的价值创造和身份认同:学习者的视角
这项工作的目标是评估学生参与跨组织(工业-学术界)实践社区(CoP)所产生的学习价值。cop是一群对某一领域有共同兴趣并联系在一起共同创造知识和能力的人。在本研究中,CoP被整合到遵循混合学习方法的高等教育设计课程中。内部和外部协作主要是通过在线技术促进的。本研究采用价值创造框架来分析共同创造学习的类型和价值,并探讨这些结果,以推断参与共同创造学习对学习者身份的影响,这些身份正在不断被重新制定。由此产生的CoP相互作用表明具有很强的即时学习价值。这些也产生了新的见解(潜在价值),并使学习者熟悉现实世界实践的特点。学生成绩的显著提高(应用& &;实现价值)。最后,CoP的参与引导了学习者观点的转变,务实地改变了他们对成就的看法,并引导他们在专业领域(重新定义的价值)转型和发展。
