Twitter as Higher-Education Community of Practice: A Political Science Perspective

Abstract: A community of practice is where a group works together toward a shared goal. This article argues that Twitter hosts a community of practice within political science and international relations. This occurs in three key ways: (1) offering an area to share feelings about our role as educators, (2) connecting to a wider network of educators in our discipline (and other disciplines), and (3) providing a space to proffer practical support. This has been especially true during the current COVID-19 pandemic, when ma… Show more

“…However, there is also evidence that researchers have used electronic media to track actions of computer users and computer systems as early as in the mid-1990s (Corrêa & Rozados, 2017). Over time, the methodological basis of Netnography has been refined and clarified as it has been utilised in different disciplines such as education, including adult education (Ngo & Eichelberger, 2020), sociology (Addeo, et al, 2019) and political science (Jester, 2022), while methodological papers are currently exploring opportunities and challenges afforded by Netnography to different fields, such as accounting (Jeacle, 2021), tourism (Tavakoli & Wijesinghe, 2019), and geography (Wu, 2022). However, its application in the HRD and related fields has so far been limited to a very few studies (see, for example, Keshtiban et al, 2021; Parth et al, 2021).…”

“…And indeed, this function does align with the main reasons behind the academics' presence on social media (cf. Jester, 2022): "Connecting with other researchers (for community building or collaboration), disseminating research, and following the research output of others are primary motivations for scholarly use of social networking sites" (Sugimoto et al, 2017(Sugimoto et al, : 2039.…”
