Survey to help local Grad StudentSunday, April 14th, 2013Please fill out the following survey to help a local Grad student with her research:
This survey normally takes about 10 minutes to complete and it has 19 experiential questions.
This survey is for academic research to fulfill a requirement of an Industrial Engineering master thesis with the aim to develop a “Cultivate a Community of Practice (CoP)” scale. It will help contribute to better understanding and sustainability of a knowledge transfer network as well as enhance an organization’s ability to streamline problem-solving synergy.
The Wichita Chapter of SWE meets the criteria as a well developed community of practice (CoP). A CoP is a network of motivated people (Community) bound together with a shared common interest or issue (Domain) who routinely collaborate to share expertise, to produce artifacts (Practice) and to increase know-how that aligns with a vision (Purpose).
In a CoP, learning is through social interaction and participation around subject matter experts. The theory of a CoP has been evaluated through field observation but its complex learning phenomena required conformity through quantitative measurement. The theoretical variables of a CoP such as trust, expectation, learning and etc. are not readily observable. Hence, a survey is used to extract the qualitative attributes of a CoP.
Thank you very much for your time!
