In this article, the implications of foregrounding ontology for teaching and learning in higher education are explored. conventional approaches to programmes, has tended be subordinated epistemological concerns. This meant flourishing notions such as transfer acquisition knowledge skills, either generic or discipline‐specific. The authors challenge emphasis on what students acquire through by instead question who they become. They do a theoretical/conceptual exploration an approach that...

Our understanding of organizations is being advanced by a diverse range practice-based approaches. Many these approaches are inspired what can be called life-world perspective, although they do not necessarily adopt this perspective throughout the research. In article, we propose that adopting bring us closer to how practice constituted. We argue performance organizational practices more closely examined bringing fore manner in which constituted through our entwinement with others and things...

Student understanding of fundamental concepts in kinematics has been explored using the phenomenographic research method. University and high school physics students were interviewed their understandings displacement, velocity, frames reference have analyzed particular problem contexts. Descriptions different ways understand developed relations between levels identified. The data highlight contextual nature learning need for teachers to focus on student specific contexts questions that...

Authentic assessment has been proposed as having potential to enhance student learning for a changing world. Conventionally, is seen be authentic when the tasks are real-to-life or have real-life value. Drawing on Martin Heidegger's work, we challenge this conceptualisation narrow and limited. We argue that authenticity need not an attribute of but, rather, quality educational processes engage students in becoming more fully human. Adopting mode involves calling things into question,...

During preparation for professional practice, the skill being developed is typically measured in form of specific knowledge and skills. This study proposes an alternative to such measures, drawing upon research which demonstrates that our understanding practice central how we both perform develop practice.

These include: (a) adequate appropriate preparation use assessment; (b) alignment objectives broader purpose course (e.g. professionals); (c) availability...

In higher education, the conventional design of educational programs emphasises imparting knowledge and skills, in line with traditional Western epistemology. This emphasis is particularly evident implementation many undergraduate which bodies skills are decontextualised from practices to they belong. contrast, notion as foundational absolute has been extensively challenged. A transformation pluralisation occurred: come be seen situated localized into various 'knowledges', status body taken...

Universities now regard student mobility programmes as a context for their students to acquire intercultural skills, cosmopolitan outlooks and potential labour market advantage. If executed thoughtfully, immersing in unfamiliar cultural environments different academic systems can make them aware of own taken-for-granted practices assumptions by bringing into contact with people issues that broaden perspectives. Little is known, however, about the preparation support receive maximise learning...

Abstract A crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to performance has been established, less well understood how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, raw materials contribute As ‘intelligent’ ‘agentic’ technologies become further involved in work, it increasingly important understand impact things upon Although research adopting an entanglement perspective (e.g., practice theory,...

This article explores the features and potential of an embodied, rather than merely skills-based, approach to doctoral writing. The authors' conceptual framework is derived from phenomenological literature, particularly Heidegger's critique modern life as permeated by a quest for mastery control. They address two key questions with respect this: Firstly, what role might achieving command or control play in impeding writing undermining embodied writerly practice? Secondly, extent narrow...
