“…Informative approach to adopt SAP could lead farmers to make up their mind in order to be a part of decision-making process. The double-ended arrow in Figure 4 shows the linkage between the awareness and information which represent the knowledge transfer process also known as a dual process (Kahneman, 2003; Slatter and France, 2011). Furthermore, a knowledge transfer process indicates that information influences the awareness and judgment of the farmers v the adoption of SAP.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enhance the adoption decision of farmers and observe the factors that affect the adoption decision of sustainable agriculture practices (SAP) which is the major motivating force of Malaysian economy. The idea behind this study is to transfer knowledge to paddy farmers within regional areas of Malaysia and to comprehend their understanding of social innovation and sustainable agriculture engineering and their overall significance. The outcome of this research will suggest a strategic extensive plan to encourage the use of SAP and also help to develop SAP helping toward building a sustainable society. Design/methodology/approach This paper encompasses three phases: analyzing the process of SAP among Malaysian Paddy farmers, to agricultural industrialization, until the stage of SAP led by farmer’s co-operatives, discussing the relevant practice together with literature and historically evidencing that there is no better way to promote SAP among regional paddy farmers within Malaysia. Findings Initial objective of this paper is to establish a thoughtful approach to enable the society to bridge a gap between embracing sustainability. The second objective investigates the misconception among farmers about social innovation. Furthermore, the study builds the conceptual framework and examines the relationship among the relevant constructs, this framework is critically examining the literature within paddy farming context. Harmoniously, there has been limited empirical research performed on the decision of adoption toward SAP usage among paddy farmers in Malaysia. Originality/value The clear worth of this research paper is the illustration from past reviews and practices to endorse SAP usage among paddy farmers in Malaysia. Another literature review suggests that these countermeasures comprehensively, historically, and theoretically are proven result oriented. The information about SAP will be beneficial for farmers and policy maker who are interested in the advancement. This learning delivers a comparative summary of knowledge transfer influencing farmer’s intention and behavior of sustainable agriculture engineering to adopt green technology. In a future study, these construct will be empirically tested.

“…We were able to identify who held the 'locus of control' which is defined as the person who controlled the teacherCoP representative-student interaction (Slatter and France 2010). We observed that who held the 'locus of control' influenced these teachers' pedagogy.…”

“…When considering the dance metaphor in relation to this research we suggest that an initial paper examined why and how teachers became involved with a Community of Practice parallels receiving an invitation to a dance and deciding if it is worthwhile to go (Slatter and France 2008). The second paper we wrote examined how teachers made contact and managed this CoP representative interaction (Slatter and France 2010) and could be explained through the dance metaphor when you are at the dance and checking out who was there. The focus of this paper is to report on the complexity of how teachers plan and implement a CoP interaction in their classroom just as if you were dancing the night away.…”

This research investigated how secondary school technology teachers planned and implemented units that enabled students to access authentic technological practice through their contact with a community of practice (CoP). It was found that when teachers plan to access a community of practice for their students a complex dance-style relationship develops between the three parties involved. Unplanned interactions can have a significant effect on the planned teaching unit. If teachers are reflexive to the demands of the student and the CoP representative, there is the potential for the development of teaching programmes with technological outcomes that reflect authentic technological practice.

“…A qualitative case study research approach (Stake 1995) has been common in studying CoPs for technology integration (Fuller et al, 2005;Hsu & Sharma, 2008;Slatter & France, 2011). The purpose of the approach is to build analytical generalisations, or theory, grounded in data.…”

Central practitioners’ developing legitimate peripheral participation in a community of practice for changing schools

As new technologies continue to shape society, there has been a greater need for communities of practice to facilitate changing teaching and learning practices through technology in schools. Legitimate peripheral participation through these communities of practice has become an essential means to spread and support this technology integration movement, but understanding this participation in communities has been limited. This paper reports on a study of how central practitioners developed legitimate peripheral participation episodes in an inter-organisational, international community of practice. It describes the qualitative, case study approach to the study, and outlines the community of practice, its central practitioners and the legitimate peripheral participation episodes in which they participated. The paper presents and discusses essential central practitioner individual and organisational factors which enabled the continuity and change of legitimate peripheral participation episodes in the community. Individual factors to emerge from the study include central practitioners' desire for continuous professional development and individual agency. Organisational factors include an organisation's distinctive mission, its distinctive roles, and constant negotiation, including conflicts of interest, between organisations and their members. The paper concludes with considerations of the value and relevance of legitimate peripheral participation in an inter-organisational community of practice for changing practices.
