Learning Communities, Learning Environments and Belonging: Using Theory to Guide Practice
Larry D. Gruppen, PhD, Professor of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School

A sense of belonging to a community is critical to well-being and effective practice. Belong is fostered by some learning and work environments and limited in others. Understanding the environmental characteristics that impact on a sense of belongingness is challenging because of the complexity of understanding environmental dynamics. This discussion will present a conceptual framework for understanding the varied components of the learning/work environment – personal, interpersonal, institutional, spatial, and virtual. This framework can be used to analyze initiatives to augment belongingness and to design relevant belongingness interventions.
