Learning community is a modern social group with students as the main body, and it is a "thing in itself" with objective inevitability. The requirements of modern society determine the educational objectives, courses, activities, communication methods and social relations structure of learning communities.
Definition: "learning community" or translated as "learning community". The school class learning community consists of learners (students) and learners (teachers), with the common learning task as the carrier, with the aim of promoting the all-round growth of members, and emphasizing the interactive learning concept as the guidance in the learning process.
Grass-roots learning groups that interact and promote each other through interpersonal communication, exchange and sharing of various learning resources. The main difference between it and traditional teaching classes and teaching organizations is that it emphasizes interpersonal psychological compatibility and communication and plays a group dynamic role in learning.
The learning community has two basic functions:
Social reinforcement: the establishment of learning community is an important way to meet learners' self-esteem and belonging needs. In the learning community, learners feel that they belong to the same group as other learners, engage in common learning activities, abide by common rules, and have the same value orientation and preferences. Learners' sense of belonging, identity and respect from other members of the community are conducive to improving learners' participation in the community and maintaining their continuous and arduous learning activities.
Information exchange: learners not only communicate with tutors, but also communicate and cooperate with peers to jointly build and share knowledge. In communication, learners can see different information and understand problems from different angles, which in turn will urge them to further reflect on their ideas and reorganize their understanding and thinking.
