As an attempt to answer a major question related to how lecturers dealt with differences in terms of different educational background, numerous studies have been used to guide the study: McKeown’s (2009) ‘first time effect’ theory, Burke & Stet’s (2009) identity theory, and Huxham’s (1996, 2005) collaborative theory. Furthermore, with the intention to examine collaborative efforts, Achinstein’s (2002) collaborative model was chosen and explored from a micropolitical perspective. Drawing on micropolitical theory, the author found that conflict, borders, and ideology, were at the center of issues related to collaboration and community learning and are underrepresented in research on teacher collaboration.
