  12. Conceptual Models

  13. Community of Practice Characteristics • strongly connected with the context of work • based on the concept of situated learning • learning as legitimate peripheral participation (lpP) • in the beginning of the learning process the novice takes up a position at the fringe of the community • free of the responsibility that full membership would bring, s/he participates only partly in common practice (“peripherality”) • Stepwise full access to the common practice of community members (“legitimacy”) • process of situated learning leads to the expert status and represents thereby also a process of cultivation • LpP thus describes the relationship between experts and novices • learning motivation arises by the interest in sharing / improving practice

  14. Community of Practice 3 central elements constitute a CoP: • Domain: members must have expertise in a common area („domain“). • Community: must be a group of people, who exchange experiences. • Practice: members need to share practice. The Career Guidance Network fits exactly the model of a Community of practice.
