Learning Management by Providing Learners with Authentic Experiences through Participation in Community of Practice to Promote Collaborative Problem-Solving Competency
Keywords:
Authentic Experiences, Collaborative Problem-Solving Competency, Community of PracticeAbstract
This study is a piece of research and development (R&D) aimed to developed a learning management by providing learners with authentic experiences through participation in community of practice and to examine collaborative problem-solving (CPS) competency of 16 students in grade 12. The study was divided into four phase: 1) studying the context of a community of practice, 2) developing the research framework and learning activities, 3) examining student’ collaborative problem-solving competency after learning management, and 4) developing and improving learning management activities. The research instrument were activity record forms, student identity books, and a collaborative problem-solving competency test with 12 open-ended questions. The level of student’ collaborative problem-solving competency was analyzed using inductive analysis. The research findings indicated that the students’ overall collaborative problem-solving competency was at a moderate level. Establishing and maintaining shared understanding was the component that the students developed the most. Emphasis will be given to students to communicate their work within the group at all times. Participating in the community of practitioners will enable students to solve complex real-world problems. However, the competency in selecting the appropriate action method to solve the problem has not developed as it should have. Therefore, teachers should invite scientists to participate in learning activities, providing students with a more diverse and feasible perspective or problem-solving approach.
