This case study was purposed to analyze the process of growth and change of members
in ‘MoonTak Network, MTN’ communities practice. The researcher reviewed the theoretical
background as the situated learning experience and practice of the members in the
‘individual-interpersonal-community’ planes. Actually, I participated as a member in ‘MTN’
till March 2016. This participatory research was carried out for 8 months. The researcher
analyzed the descriptions from in-depth interviews of 8 participants individually or in
groups.
The research results were as followings: first, they became the members of the ‘MTN’
through reflecting of oneself, and getting over own routine life, and seeing new one's life
again. Second, they made their correlations by having meals together, reading and debating
and writing aggressively. Sometimes, they solved their conflict and had learning each other.
They got along with each other in reciprocity acquiring the identity and established strong
‘MTN’. Third, they made their collective value through sharing their own idea and learning
by doing. Beyond the Moontak network, they constructed social solidarity with the
disadvantaged and minorities. With those activities, they led their lives actively rather than
passively.
Based upon the above results, the researcher would like to suggest the followings: first,
the community ‘MTN’ reproduced through ‘choosing and sharing’ within the community
rather than ‘open to anyone’. Second, for the praxis, Freire argued as critical reflection and
action. the researcher found that between the Freirean praxis, there were ‘redefine of
critical conscious and deliberation’ from the experience of writing and reciprocity of
‘MTN’.
