在组织内部和组织之间创造持续的变革性变革具有挑战性，特别是当那些进行变革的人以个人身份行事时。实践社区 (CoP) 是志同道合的参与者之间有机创建的合作，致力于实现一组共同的目标（Lave 和 Wenger、Wenger-Trayner 和 Wenger-Trayner）。 CoP 为成员提供了跨越不同界限将个人联系起来的途径。在本文中，我们使用数学教学探究社区 (COMMIT) 网络作为我们的研究单位，调查了区域 CoP 领导者体验参与社区价值的方式。 COMMIT 网络是一个赠款资助的项目，旨在让高等教育机构的数学教师参与地区 CoP 的探究式教学。在这项研究中，我们研究了嵌套在该网络环境中的 CoP 领导者的经历。我们采访了来自美国 8 个地区的 19 名领导人，了解他们对参与地区 CoP 和 COMMIT 网络结构的个人和集体价值的看法。我们的研究框架是 Wenger 等人的《促进和评估社区和网络中的价值创造：概念框架》。荷兰开放大学。）价值框架。我们的研究结果表明，领导者发现作为个人参与协作、支持性 CoP 环境的直接价值，并且他们发现了 CoP 对所在地区和网络的教学实践产生的影响的实现价值。一项意外的发现探讨了未来价值创造的机会如何影响大学数学教学的长期可持续性和转型。我们对区域 CoP 以及 CoP 网络如何通过此类社区为成员提供价值的方式提供了启示。
Creating sustained, transformative change within and across organizations is challenging, particularly when those undertaking change act as individuals. COMmunities of Practice (CoPs) are organically created collaborations among like-minded participants, working toward a common set of goals (Lave & Wenger,; Wenger-Trayner & Wenger-Trayner,). CoPs offer an avenue for members to connect individuals across various boundaries. In this paper, we investigate the ways in which regional CoP leaders experience value participating in their community, using the Communities for Mathematics Inquiry in Teaching (COMMIT) Network as our unit of study. The COMMIT Network is a grant funded project aimed at engaging mathematics faculty at institutions of higher education in regional CoPs around teaching with inquiry. In this study we examine the experiences of CoP leaders nested within this network setting. We interviewed 19 leaders from eight United States regions to understand their perceptions of individual and collective value participating in the regional CoP and COMMIT Network structures. We framed our study on Wenger et al.. Promoting and assessing value creation in communities and networks: A conceptual framework. Open University of the Netherlands.) Value Framework. Our findings show that leaders found Immediate Value as individuals participating in a collaborative, supportive CoP environment and they found Realized Value in terms of the impact their CoP could make on instructional practices, both in their region and the network. An unexpected finding examines how future opportunities for value creation may influence long-term sustainability and transformation of college mathematics instruction. We provide implications for the ways that regional CoPs, along with CoP networks, can provide value for members through such communities.
