The Evolution of Learning Communities: A Retrospective
Matthews, Roberta S.; Smith, Barbara Leigh; MacGregor, Jean
New Directions for Teaching and Learning, n132 p99-111 Win 2012
This volume focuses on learning communities at the beginning and at the culmination of work in the major of psychology and reflects a commitment to good practice both within and outside the classroom. Its comprehensive approach attests to the power of learning communities within the discipline and is a fine example of their evolution. In this article, the authors look at the development of learning communities over the years, the growth and diversification of these approaches, and the good practices that have emerged. At the same time, the authors' reflections stimulated a number of questions whose consideration would, they believe, help strengthen the learning communities movement.
