Dear Forum members,
please note the EAPRIL 2011 conference in Nijmegen, The Netherlands from
the 23rd until the 25th of November 2011
CONFERENCE THEME: "Balancing workplace learning and practitioner research
across professional fields"
For the upcoming EAPRIL conference we invite researchers and practitioners
who can inspire colleagues, are active in the context of workplace learning
and/or would like to share their ideas and experiences with regard to
practice-based research.
Introduction to the conference theme:
"Balancing workplace learning and practitioner research
across professional fields"
Learning and training in the workplace is one of the most important ways
of preparing young people for a vocational career, but is also vital for
continuous professional development. Although workplace learning has proven
to be a classical way of learning, it does not always automatically result
in effective learning results. From that perspective we can conclude that
practitioner research on effective workplace learning is in its infancy.
Workplace learning is of special interest in dual education as dual
education gets its shape and stature by learning in and through working
activities. An illustrative example are the teachers and students in
so-called professional development schools (PDS). Professional development
schools provide an important and rich learning environment within teacher
training. Training activities and responsibilities are increasingly
transferred from the teacher training college to the PDS. This transfer
includes developing research competencies: becoming a teacher-researcher by
being a teacher-researcher in the context of a PDS.
We increasingly recognize that practitioners are not only object of study
but also co-researchers, studying quality improvement of their own work,
working situation or work place learning. As a consequence more attention
should be paid to the question how practitioners and researchers can
collaborate in doing practice-based learning in order to optimize learning
within professional contexts. Examples of questions that can be addressed
at the conference are:
• How can practice based research contribute to the quality of
(workplace) learning?
• How can practice based research be organized within the context of
workplace learning?
• Which roles can be defined in practice based research and what is the
role of the practitioner?
• How to shape the dialogue between practitioners and researchers from a
relevant practical question to a research question and research design?
• What are effective approaches to assure ownership of the research in
the professional field?
• What are critical and success factors in practice based research?
'Interaction' is a keyword at the EAPRIL Conference. To stimulate this
interaction the EAPRIL conference introduces new interactive presentation
formats. More information can be found on our conference website soon.
Please be advised that the conference language will be English
for the submissions and for the presentations.
A call for submission will be spread soon.
Registration without contribution is possible.
Deadline for submission is 14 September 2011
