Definition of class as a learning community

  1. In the broad sense is "communities of knowledge construction ", any group of individuals willing to share their knowledge of community and to introduce, with the support staff, significant changes.
  2. Sharing knowledge means to promote discussion and collaboration among group members, for everybody to get involved and fully responsible for the role they must play. Students not only take on the role of learners, but they become carriers of "theories" they share with teachers and parents through dialogue and negotiation.
  3. "The idea of \u200b\u200ba classroom as a socio-cultural system" : students become the protagonists of the educational process, have thought and reflection, they consider themselves as researchers engaged in critical analysis for solving various problems. The goal is to transform knowledge from the redefinition of their beliefs.

The learning communities are also characterized by:

  • "diversity" of skills among members
  • the presence of a shared objective
  • the conception of learning as research
  • the presence of mechanisms for sharing what has been learned

class: learning community

This blog is aimed at teachers and arises from a question: how we can organize a learning community, which is a work space, within which each student is the protagonist assets of their own learning and the classroom is designed as a set of "potential development areas? The need to adapt educational systems to emerging challenges of a rapidly changing society, pushing teachers to engage in a process of "rethinking the teaching methods and learning environment." The traditional model of teaching seems inappropriate as it suggests learning as the transfer of knowledge out of context: the new generation is, however, for problems which require the possession of critical skills with which to relate to reality, to build knowledge, to make transfers the knowledge gained in other fields of knowledge or life in society.
The idea of \u200b\u200bthe class as "learning communities" is not only a teaching method, but a broad view of learning and school, which draws upon the psychological theories and contributions of many areas of research and study.
