Processes of practice and identity shaping teachers' TPACK enactment in a community of practice
Technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) has been used by hundreds of studies as a theoretical framework to explore teachers' technology use in classroom settings. While these studies have contributed to understandings of the interplay ...
Structural and Epistemic Parameters in Communities of Practice
If communities of practice (Lave and Wenger 1991) are best understood as fluid social relations, enacted among a self-selected group of participants, then are they best left alone, free from "interference" by organizational managers and policymakers? Or ...
An exploration of the practice approach and its place in information science
A number of cognate disciplines, such as science and technology studies and media studies, appear to be turning to practice theories as a theoretical perspective. Using Schatzki's work as a starting point, this conceptual paper explores the practice ...
