From the theory of situated cognition to communities of practice Universiteit Antwerpen
Assessing communities of practice in health policy: a conceptual framework as a first step towards empirical research Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Communities of Practice (CoPs) are groups of people that interact regularly to deepen their knowledge on a specific topic. Thanks to information and communication technologies, CoPs can involve experts distributed across countries and adopt a 'transnational' membership. This has allowed the strategy to be applied to domains of knowledge such as health policy with a global perspective. CoPs represent a potentially valuable tool for producing and ...
Communities of practice Universiteit Antwerpen
During the past 10 years, the organisation has developed a very strong practice of self-organisation, which is fundamental for the healthcare professionals providing very high-level care, with both happy professionals and clients. This operating philosophy has enabled the organisation to keep caring for their clients well, and treating them like individuals, even in difficult times. Legitimate peripheral participation (LPP) means in other words ...
Four Layers for Designing Conferences as Learning Environments: Space, Time, Communities of Practice and Trust KU Leuven
Building on the open peer commentaries on my article, I structure their main suggestions and ideas into a set of four focus areas valuable for future conference organizers.
Curating creative communities of practice: the role of ambiguity KU Leuven
Communities of Practice (CoPs), it is argued, are loci for creativity, innovation and problem-solving. Instigating a CoP and harnessing this creative energy from an external position (be it institutional or individual) is, however, problematic. Literature surrounding CoPs emphasises the delicate manner in which they are formed and sustained. Those instigating these communities from an external position, such as curators, managers, or educators, ...
Learning and Caring in Communities of Practice: Using Relationships and Collective Learning to Improve Primary Care for Patients with Multimorbidity KU Leuven
We introduce a primary care practice model for caring for patients with multimorbidity. Primary care for these patients requires flexibility and ongoing coordination, and it often must be tailored to individual circumstances. Such complex and flexible care could be accomplished within communities of practice, whose participants are willing to learn from their shared practice, further each other's goals, share their stories of success and ...
Dog ownership practices and responsibilities for children's health in terms of rabies control and prevention in rural communities in Tanzania Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Interventions tackling zoonoses require an understanding of healthcare patterns related to both human and animal hosts. The control of dog-mediated rabies is a good example. Despite the availability of effective control measures, 59,000 people die of rabies every year worldwide. In Tanzania, children are most at risk, contributing similar to 40% of deaths. Mass dog vaccination can break the transmission cycle, but reaching the recommended 70% ...
Towards wide-scale adoption of open science practices: The role of open science communities KU Leuven
How do sustainable port practices influence local communities' perceptions of ports? Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The symbiotic relationship between ports and cities in spatial, social, and cultural terms is fundamental in tackling new transport, urban, and environmental challenges. A positive perception of port clusters within local communities is increasingly becoming a source of competitive advantage for the further development of port clusters and regions. This research examines how the economic, social, and environmental practices of port-managing ...
