Abstract

This paper presents the conceptual framework for analysing learning in a change project on a teacher training college. We address this project through social learning theory with a special emphasis on Wenger’s concepts the negotiation of meaning and identity. These concepts are further developed by drawing on discourse theoretical insight – especially an organization theoretical application of Foucault’s conception of power. Thus, we want to discuss the impact of identity and power on the learning within the change project. We regard organizational learning as processes that take place on various loosely coupled arenas. On this basis, we try to identify the tensions of identity and power that are involved in the negotiating meaning.
