Creating a culture of
collaboration"
The 'tinkering' teacher is an individualised embryo of institutional knowledge creation. When such tinkering becomes more systematic, more collective and explicitly managed, it is transformed into knowledge creation… "Transfer is difficult to achieve for it involves far more than telling or simply providing information… "This is most easily achieved when a teacher tinkers with information derived from another's professional practice. "
