Knowledge

A long-expressed need of CCT graduates is for community (like they felt when they were students) to support their CCT-related steps in professional and personal development after they graduate

Actions

What could people do on the basis of this knowledge claim?

• 693 students can help each other prepare for the future in which each of you attempt to create your own supportive community for your CCT-related efforts (pjt)

Questions for further Inquiry

What more do you want to know:

• in order to clarify what people could do (feeding back -> actions):
• in order to understand more (and revise/refine the knowledge claim feeding back -> knowledge claims):

Do current students (e.g., 693 students) feel that need? Or feel it enough to be enthused to do Action Research on it? (pjt)

• Conduct survey of current students to assess their needs for community (dvt)
• See Reflection after Action Research by Peter Taylor

How do you Know about the long-expressed need of CCT graduates?--What's the evidence? (pjt)

Did they feel differently about after they graduated about the support they got while a CCT student? (mhat)

What kinds of support are they looking for? What are their purposes of looking for support (talking, meeting, or learning)? What does “creating supportive community for your professional and personal development” mean to them? (mhat)

• Conduct interviews/open ended interview questionnaire to find out whether CCT graduates are really looking for support (what percent of CCT graduates are looking for it?). If most of them say yes, then I need to find out what kinds of support they are looking for (e-mails, blog, bulletin board, face-to-face meetings, or learning sessions by CCT community). I need to find out what their purposes of looking for support are: talking, meeting, or learning? (mhat)
