Working within Knowledge Communities as a Context for Developing Knowledge Practices

Abstract

Rapid changes in the current knowledge society present new challenges to human competence. Productive participation in knowledge-intensive work requires that individuals, their professional communities, and their organizations develop new competencies, advance their knowledge and their understanding as well as produce innovations. This is reflected in developments in professional communities wherein work is increasingly focused on deliberate advancement of knowledge rather than on the mere production of material artefacts (Bereiter, 2002). In parallel with these changes in society, conceptions about learning, knowledge practices, and social organization of learning have to be transformed to facilitate corresponding competencies. 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.
