Innovative Education and Learning Practices Management and Organizational Studies Knowledge Management and Sharing

Abstract

In the years since its appearance, Lave and Wenger’s (1990, 1991) notion of ‘community of practice’ (hereafter, CoP) has developed a remarkably wide following. Its appeal owes a good deal to the seductive character of community, aptly described as a ‘warmly persuasive word’ (Williams, 1976, p. 66). As Østerlund and Carlile (2005) note, most citations of Lave and Wenger have focused on community and ignored practice. Yet it is practice that makes the CoP, the social locus in which a practice is sustained and reproduced overtime, a distinct type of community1 practice is thus critical to CoP analysis. We should not, however, lose sight of the community. The CoP is inherently and irreducibly a social endeavour. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
