Epistemic Fluency and Professional Education
This book, by combining sociocultural, material, cognitive and embodied perspectives on human knowing, offers a new and powerful conceptualisation of epistemic fluency – a capacity that underpins knowledgeable professional action and innovation. Using results from empirical studies of professional education programs, the book sheds light on practical ways in which the development of epistemic fluency can be recognised and supported - in higher education and in the transition to work. The book provides a broader and deeper conception of epistemic fluency than previously available in the literature. Epistemic fluency involves a set of capabilities that allow people to recognize and participa...
Creating Design Knowledge in Educational Innovation
Examining how research-informed design knowledge is created, represented, and used in educational research and innovation projects, this book offers theoretical, methodological, and practical guidance on how to (and how not to) create, represent, and (re)use research-informed design principles. The chapters explore how educational researchers, designers, teachers, and other innovating practitioners can make outcomes of educational research and innovation projects scalable, readily applicable in educational design, and impactful on practice. They offer methodological "know-how" that is theoretically robust and grounded in research and design experiences. Providing critical reflection on current theories, methods, and practices, this book also considers directions for the future in light of developments in semantic web technologies, AI, and other emerging technologies. This book is a helpful guide for researchers, research students, and innovation designers who aim to produce and apply design knowledge that is robust, grounded in research, and practically useful as a part of diverse research and innovation projects.
Education for Practice in a Hybrid Space
This book presents a mobile technology capacity building framework that offers academics, students, and practitioners involved in workplace education a deeper understanding of, and practical guidance on, how mobile technology can enhance professional learning. Approaching professional and workplace learning as a hybrid space in which work, learning and technology meet, the book discusses the value of mobile technology in shaping professional education, particularly during student placements. The framework focuses on staying professional and safe, considering issues of time and place, planning learning activities, initiating dialogue, networking, creating learning opportunities on-the-go, and...
Methodological Choice and Design
Beginning and well-seasoned researchers alike face significant challenges in understanding the complexities of research designs arising from both within and across methodological paradigms, and in applying them in ways that maximise impact on knowledge, practice, and policy. This volume engages educational and social researchers in a scholarly debate offering some crucial re-interpretations of established research methodologies in light of contemporary conditions and critical introduction to some contemporary research approaches yet to gain general recognition. This book is a contemporary vademecum for researchers, practitioners and graduate students on research methodologies and designs for...
A Biophilic Design Guide to Environmentally Sustainable Design Studios
This book explores the current challenges of teaching biophilic design within environmentally sustainable design (ESD) education. It shows how design frameworks and success matrices can be used within ESD education, explores the development of biophilic design frameworks and shows how design thinking can be used to adopt biophilic design within ESD education. It introduces the new 'Process Bridging Technique (PBT)' that can be used to generate sustainable design frameworks able to fulfil the requirements of a performance-based approach and, at the same time, enhance human-nature connectedness. Based on an educational design research project developed in the past two years at the University of Sydney, this book informs new approaches to ESD education and bridges the spheres of research, education, and profession. It serves as a practical guide on how to systematically develop a design framework that can be used in architecture education, while presenting the pioneering 'Process Bridging Technique' developed by the authors.
Re-theorising Learning and Research Methods in Learning Research
Re-Theorising Learning and Research Methods in Learning Research explores the latest developments in the field of learning theory, offering an overview of emerging methods and demonstrating how recent research contributes to furthering understanding of learning. This book illustrates how theory and methods inform one another, facilitating advancements in the field, while addressing the ways in which societal and technological change create a need for adapting approaches to examining learning. Drawing on an international team of contributors, this book comprises 17 chapters and three commentaries, thematically organised into three broad sections: emerging theories and conceptualisations of le...
Practice-Based Education
Practice-Based Education: Perspectives and Strategies. This book draws on the collective vision, research, scholarship and experience of leading academics in the field of practice-based and professional education. It presents multiple perspectives and critical appraisals on this significant trend in higher education and examines strategies for implementing this challenging and inspiring mode of learning, teaching and curriculum development. Eighteen chapters are presented across three sections of the book: Contesting and Contextualising Practice-Based Education Practice-Based Education Pedagogy and Strategies The Future of Practice-Based Education.
