TRANSDISCIPLINARY APPROACH ON KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION IN FAMILY AS COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2010, Vol 21, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper presents a new perspective on family as a possible community of practice using a transdisciplinary approach and the search window methodology with top-down and bottom up levels of knowledge. In a family as community of practice communication is facilitated by a flexible accessible structure (mutual engagement) between parents to children (top-down perspective) and children to parents (bottom-up perspective). In this mutual inform-action process parents through the mechanism of authority and collaborative relationships encourage learning as a central aspect of children’s identity shaped by family participation. The children, through the mechanism of apprenticeship learn through sharing information and experiences. This process of mutual engagement leads to a shared understanding (joint enterprise) and new resources (shared repertoire) which are the building blocks of a community of practice.
