Abstract
The evolution of this practicum paper was based on a project I had to complete for a client, XYZ Commercial Training Centre. In Aug 2002, we were approached by XYZ Commercial Training Centre (client's name to remain anonymous for confidentiality reasons) to design and develop a Learning Community (Coaching For Performance) for their OJT (On-The-Job Training) Coaches. I was assigned the task of completing this project. This practicum paper presents the following with regards to this project:
Chapter Two
How I gathered relevant literature to unravel on the two major overaching questions I needed answers to before I went about building this learning community:
What is a "learning" community and how does it encourage professionals to learn from each other to improve efficacy?
How to go about defining, designing and developing an online learning community?
Chapter Three
What methodology I adopted in:
Defining and designing the learning community
Conducting a survey to collate relevant data for the development of the learning community
Chapter Four
How I collated the results from the survey
Chapter Five
How I incorporated the data obtained from the survey in the development the learning community?
The primary focus of this paper is to:
● Confirm that research has shown that community learning is one way of encouraging professionals to come together and learn from each other to improve their efficacy. And hence, to support the decision to build a learning community to bring OJT coaches together to collaboratively learn and share their ideas and opinions with each other.
● Present the methodology I adopted in defining and designing this learning community
● Present the methodology I adopted in conducting a survey to collate the relevant data to build the content for the learning community
● Present the results of this survey
● Present on how the results from the survey was used in the development of the learning community
