- W2626427990 abstract "Drawing on both Community of Practice (CoP) and First Year in Higher Education (FYHE) literature this nuts and bolts session will explore whether the FYHE community may be identified as a CoP. This discussion will be used as a springboard to a presentation on the development of CoPs that support the FYHE teaching community in other Australian universities and the establishment of the CoP for staff who work with first year students at Flinders University. The presentation will outline why a CoP was established to support first year teaching and how the initiative is progressing. Participants will be provided with time to either consider the CoPs at their own institutions or to consider whether investing in one is an appropriate strategy to support staff who work with first year students. Background on Communities of Practice Communities of Practice (CoPs) were initially identified as ways of developing knowledge and performance within organisations. Businesses embraced them as they were regarded as opportunities to gain competitive advantage by harnessing the informal networks that staff developed to solve problems (Nickols, 2000; Wenger, 1998, 2006). Similarly in higher education, CoPs have been used throughout the 1990’s in Australian universities as a way of developing and implementing change (Hegarty, 2008). However, the effectiveness and value of translating CoPs from business settings to Australian universities has been contested by scholars who argue that academic work practices differ significantly from those of business and industry (Nagy and Burch (2009). In fact Nagy and Burch (2009) contend that the imposition of corporate cultures within universities has resulted in “impediments to wide-spread across institution collegial activity”. Despite this, they suggest that CoPs can develop within academic communities provided the “contextual peculiarities of the higher education environment” are explicitly recognized “as the existence of these make CoP-like activities more challenging in academe” (p. 236). In spite of the challenges outlined above, a number of CoPs have developed both within and across Australian universities. Institutions that have established CoPs include Deakin University; the University of Southern Queensland (USQ); the Australian National University (ANU); RMIT University; the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Queensland University Technology (QUT) (Lawrence & Sankey, 2008; Nagy & Burch, 2009; Wilson, 2007). National CoPs have also developed around issues of interest to specific groups of staff, for example the" @default.
