Lifelong learning at Scania and KTH : A qualitative study on community of practice as a learning method in contract education
This degree project examines the feasibility of implementing a community of practice within the contract education course ”Sustainable Transport Systems” offered at KTH Royal Institute of Sweden in collaboration with Scania. This degree project aims to investigate if it would be possible to increase participation in the course by creating study circles led by circle leaders who have completed the course. Four interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis, leading to the identification of four themes. A beta test was then conducted with 15 Scania employees who had yet to take the course, in which they participated in two condensed modules led by a circle leader. Results suggest a potential for implementing a community of practice, as circle leaders and employees saw value in the format and appreciated the opportunities for discussion and reflection on sustainability. The proposed concept is that the course serves as an introduction to a community of practice focusing on sustainability at Scania, where an attitude towards sustainability is developed and concrete improvement proposals for sustainability work are created through the course’s projects. Detta examensarbete undersöker genomförbarheten med att implementera en praxisgemenskap inom uppdragsutbildningskursen ”Hållbara transportsystem” som erbjuds vid Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan i samarbete med Scania. Syftet medarbetet är att undersöka om det skulle vara möjligt att öka deltagandet i kursen genom att skapa studiecirklar som leds av cirkelledare som genomfört kursen.Fyra intervjuer genomfördes och analyserades med hjälp av tematisk analys, vilket ledde till att fyra teman identifierades. Därefter genomfördes ett betatest med 15 Scania-anställda som ännu inte hade gått kursen, där de deltog i två kompakta moduler ledda av en cirkelledare. Resultaten tyder på en potential för att implementera en praxisgemenskap, eftersom cirkelledare och medarbetare såg värde i formatet och uppskattade möjligheterna till diskussion och reflektion kring hållbarhet. Det föreslagna konceptet är att kursen fungerar som en introduktion till en praxisgemenskap med fokus på hållbarhet hos Scania, där en attityd till hållbarhet utvecklas och konkreta förbättringsförslag för hållbarhetsarbete skapas genom kursens projekt.
