Potential Abstract:
The rise of commons-based peer production has brought forth new opportunities and challenges in the field of education. This study examines the descriptive spheres within commons-based peer production through a socialist lens, aiming to unpack the nuanced relationships between individuals, communities, and resources in collaborative educational settings. By incorporating socialist principles, we scrutinize how power dynamics, ownership structures, and distribution mechanisms influence the production and sharing of educational resources. Through a qualitative analysis of online learning communities and open educational resource platforms, this research reveals the complex interplay of social, economic, and political factors in shaping the landscape of educational commons. Our findings highlight the importance of recognizing and navigating the diverse voices, values, and interests that converge within these spaces, shedding light on the potential for more equitable and inclusive educational practices. By offering a critical analysis of descriptive spheres in commons-based peer production, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse on alternative models of knowledge creation and dissemination in education.
