Abstract
Communities of practice (CoP) has gained on prominence since it emerged as a concept in early 1990s, introduced by Lave and Wenger (1991) as situated learning. They argue that knowledge is acquired through active participation in a community as a new member moves from peripheral to full participation in the community. Since then, the CoP concept has evolved (Kimble & Hildreth, 2004), as Wenger (2004) defined CoP as “groups of people who share a passion for something that they know how to do, and who interact regularly in order to learn how to do it better” (p. 2).
