ABSTRACT. Using primarily online interaction, we worked with a grade one teacher to help her develop an understanding of community in her own classroom. Using an interpretive interactionist methodology, we theorized four domains in her view of classroom community: trust, membership, power, and capacity. The teacher’s perceived success in creating community suggested the development of an adaptive community coming from a newfound ability to negotiate the contradictions inherent in each domain. Comprendre la connaissance qu’une enseignante a de la communauté formée par sa classe RÉSUMÉ. Par le truchement principal de sessions interactives en ligne, nous avons aidé une enseignante de première année du primaire à perfectionner sa compréhension de la communauté formée par ses élèves. Selon une méthode interactioniste interprétative, nous avons élaboré une théorie axée sur quatre volets d’interprétation de la communauté formée par la classe : confiance, appartenance, pouvoir et capacité. Le succès que perçoit l’enseignante sur le plan de la création d’un esprit communautaire suggère la mise sur pied d’une communauté adaptative issue d’une nouvelle capacité à traiter les contradictions inhérentes à chaque volet.Downloads
