socially constructedand also

requires even slight changes inone's identity, which makes the

process both challenging and

powerful.

2. Knowledge is integrated in the lifeof communities.

When we develop and share

values, perspectives, and ways ofdoing things, we create a

community of practice

(CoP)/interest (CoI).

21


22/35



3. Learning is an act of participation.The motivation to learn is the

desire to participate in a

community of practice.

22


23/35


4. Knowing depends on engagementin practice.

We often glean knowledge from

observations of, and participationin, many different situations and

activities. The depth of our

knowing depends in turn on thedepth of our engagement.


23

5. Engagement is inseparable fromempowerment.

We perceive our identities in terms

of our ability to contribute and toaffect the lifeof communities in

which we are or want to be a part.
