Construction of learning community

Miao Fujun of Qilu Normal University

I. Overview of learning communities

Learning community is a grass-roots learning organization compiled according to certain teaching purposes, tasks and forms. Has the following characteristics:

(1) purpose. In order to complete the common learning task.

(2) systematic. The elements of the organization constitute a certain structural level.

(3) orderliness. The performance is as follows: first, the balance of group activities, the balance of power distribution and responsibility division. The second is the coordination of organizational activities, which requires frequent coordination of all aspects to keep the organization in an orderly state. The third is the procedural nature of organizational activities. Usually, activities form a certain format and accumulate a specific coping mode when dealing with accidental events.

(B) the nature of the learning community

1, behavior subjectivity. As a new educational system, members are not only the object of education, but also the main body of education and the internal driving force of educational reform.

2. The system is open. It is included in the whole system of social relations, has a distinct social tendency, and is an open system.

3. Member organizations. Members are highly organized and organized collective institutions, and they are purposeful synthesis of individuals linked by duty compliance and friendship.

4. Target integrity. The ultimate goal of all-round education for members is to develop personality and improve comprehensive quality.

5. Consistency of activity integration. Common activities are guided by common goals, emphasizing division of labor and cooperation, coordinating actions, and achieving a high degree of unity between cooperation and autonomy.

Establishing a learning community is an important way to meet the needs of learners' self-esteem and sense of belonging. In the learning community, learners feel that they belong to the same group as other learners, carry out 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. How can there be friendship among members in a learning community? Communication (private communication)

2. Information exchange

Learners communicate with tutors, and at the same time communicate and cooperate with peers to jointly construct and share knowledge. In communication, learners can see different information and understand problems from different angles, which will prompt them to further reflect on their ideas and reorganize their understanding and ideas. (Sharing, used things only increase in value with wisdom, not depreciate)

Second, create a learning community.

(2) Process

1. Please carefully observe the pictures on the ground and pick up the one that touches you the most or you like the most. Everyone can and must choose one.

(Let's take a walk and choose your favorite pictures in your favorite way. )

2. Looking back at the process of selecting the map, how did you get the map? Why did you choose this photo? What's in the picture? Which part appeals to you the most? How do you feel when you see this picture? Who, what and what does it remind you of? If you wanted to give it a name, what would you do?

3. Everyone presents the patterns of the pictures in their hands, then looks for the other two pictures they like and forms a trio with the owners of the pictures. Requirements: Pictures must like each other. (In this process, I am actively looking for my favorite pictures and actively asking the other party if they like their pictures. In this process, I gained the initiative and successfully gathered the people I like into my own group. )

4. Share in groups of three: introduce yourself first, and then share how you got the photos in your hand. Why did you choose this photo? What's in the picture? Which part appeals to you the most? How do you feel when you see this picture? Who, what and what does it remind you of? What's the name of your photo? And why I like each other's photos. (6 minutes, 2 minutes each) We are all a little excited that people we like form a group. Because when I got the map, I thought of the question raised in the second step, so let me introduce it first: my map is an outdoor person, carrying a backpack, on a mountain top, opening the map, looking at it, and preparing to March to a new destination. A warm light behind me attracted me. Seeing this picture, I think of exploration, courage, freedom and warmth. Because I have the ideal of "reading thousands of books and taking Wan Li Road" in my heart, but I am timid and have some difficulties in stepping into the society. This photo attracted me and encouraged me. I hope I can reach this state. Ding Haiyan: The picture shows the little girl on the swing. In the sunset, the light is particularly soft and the colors are particularly beautiful. I studied fine arts at first, but later I changed my favorite Chinese language and literature major. The light in this picture and the little girl on the swing attracted me, reminding me that my father made me a swing when I was a child, and the children played together. If my father collapses, I will rebuild it. I am very happy. When choosing, I stood in the same place and held up my photo. Several people also like my photos, but I don't like theirs, so I didn't choose them. Sun Yaqi came over and said that he liked my paintings, so I liked them a little. Because it is also a natural scenery on the way, although I don't like this dangerous outdoor activity, I appreciate this kind of person. So I choose. Later, Sun Yaqi invited Mr. Shi Jiuyu. I saw his pictures were fresh and liked them very much, so I set up our group. Shi Jiuyu, introduce yourself first. I chose this picture, a girl, playing in the water between mountains and rivers, feeling particularly relaxed, comfortable and fresh. Our choices are natural, free and quiet. These three paintings are named exploration, swing and tranquility respectively. All three of us are majors in Chinese language and literature, and every choice in life reflects the inevitability behind it. )

These three people are a whole. First, say your picture combination (time 1 minute). Then according to your pictures, (our group name: My heart flies), find a group of pictures you like together and form a group of six people. Requirements: The pictures must be mutually liked by both parties. (Another set of pictures has the taste of home and the warmth of loved ones. Give us some fireworks. We like to form a group of six with each other. Share with each other. Their photos are named: the taste of love, meditation, bright future)

6. Group sharing: The members of the trio introduce their companions in turn and share how he or she got the photos in his or her hand. Why did you choose this photo? What's in the picture? Which part attracts him (her) the most? How does he (she) feel when he (she) sees this picture? Who, what and what does this painting remind him or her of? What's the name of his (her) photo? What's the name of your group's picture? Why do you like each other's picture? (Time 12 minutes, 2 minutes each)

7. Six people as a whole, first name your group, and then find another group of pictures you like according to your pictures to form a group of twelve people. Requirements: The pictures must be mutually liked by both parties. Like snowballing, the team is getting bigger and bigger, and we feel the harvest brought by openness and communication. We are eager to get to know each other and build a more United and powerful team. )

8. Group sharing: Six members take turns to introduce a partner in the same group, and then share how he or she got the photo in his or her hand. Why did he (she) choose this picture? What's in the picture? Which part attracts him (her) the most? How does he (she) feel when he (she) sees this picture? Who, what and what does this painting remind him or her of? What's the name of his (her) photo? What's the name of their picture combination? What are the names of your quartet's pictures? Why do you like each other's pictures? (Time 24 minutes, 2 minutes each)

9. Create a team

(1) Choose a group leader (everyone chooses their favorite group leader, who to choose, put their hands on their shoulders, and tell him the reason for choosing him, focusing on quality, not just gender. This link is similar to teacher Wan Ping's "praise card" for selecting small cadres. )

(2) the name and slogan of the group

(3) Design the league emblem

(4) Training objectives (personal and professional, specific and assessable)

(5) group rules (guarantee measures to achieve the goal, specific and operable)

(6) Use the existing pictures of the group to build a work belonging to your group. When building a work, everyone is required to move only their own pictures, and in this process, members can only communicate, communicate and interact through body language or eye contact, and then name the picture combination after completion.

(7) Creative group photo

10. Collective sharing

(7) sharing: wisdom wall (reflected in the class, is the layout of class culture. Students exchange ideas and gain space together. )

Useful ideas and information? target

My main feeling? subjective

What do I agree with most? of course

What kind of thinking and innovation has triggered me? reform

What is the biggest gain and experience? think

What point do I disagree with? criticize

Emphasis: everyone can talk about themselves, don't compare.

The setting and attention to time in group communication makes members have a sense of urgency in communication, so we should earnestly implement time.
