Communities of Practice


Groups composed of people that make efforts in order to learn together. They share an interest in common and interact with the objective of doing or learning how to do it in a better way.

I think it is very interesting to learn together as a group. It is proves that we learn from our mistakes and we also learn from our peers mistakes. Besides that, as Vygotsky has demonstrated, our intellectual development occurs through Instructional scaffolding.
