Diversity and mobility in education work present a paramount challenge that needs better conceptualization educational theory. This has been addressed by scholars with the notion of boundaries, particularly concepts boundary crossing objects. Although studies on objects emphasize boundaries carry learning potential, it is not explicated what way they do so. By reviewing this literature, article offers an understanding as dialogical phenomena. The review literature reveals four potential...
Abstract Using mobile games in education combines situated and active learning with fun a potentially excellent manner. The effects of city game called Frequency 1550, which was developed by Waag Society to help pupils their first year secondary playfully acquire historical knowledge medieval Amsterdam, were investigated terms pupil engagement the game, knowledge, motivation for History general topic Middle Ages particular. A quasi‐experimental design used 458 from 20 classes five schools....
This study aims to understand the recurrent challenges of professional development school (PDS) partnerships experienced by many countries. It does so conceptualizing PDS as endeavors cross institutionally and epistemologically developed boundaries between teacher education, schooling, academic research. After introducing what we call a multilevel boundary crossing approach, look at startup years one partnership, scrutinizing successive learning mechanisms that were evoked institutional,...
In vocational education, there is an ongoing discussion about problems occurring in school-work transitions and relating school work-based learning processes. Apprenticeships have been identified as valuable working trajectories for making successful relations between work. However, they mostly located activities taking place solely the workplace with hardly any attention what students do learn during release days at school. Deploying theoretical notion of boundary crossing, we conducted a...
This study reports five Dutch expert history teachers' approaches to multiperspectivity in lessons on three topics varying moral sensitivity (i.e., the Revolt, Slavery, and Holocaust) their underlying considerations for addressing subjects' perspectives different temporal layers. The were observed videorecorded, teachers interviewed. Lessons analyzed using a theoretical framework which layers of distinguished, each with its own educational function. Teachers addressed multiple functions...
Social psychology's disconnect from the vital and urgent questions of people's lived experiences reveals limitations in current paradigm. We draw on a related perspective social psychology
Both cognitive and sociocultural traditions have customarily theorised learning in terms of processes progression within single communities. More recently, educational scholars started to focus on as a horizontal process boundary crossing between multiple A problem this approach is that boundaries are often laid out analytically system level, without explaining whether how relate discontinuities at the level an individual student's process. The latter requires theoretical elaboration learner...
Despite increasing numbers of publications, science often fails to significantly improve patient care. Clinician-scientists, professionals who combine care and research activities, play an important role in helping solve this problem. However, despite the ascribed advantages connecting scientific knowledge inquiry with health care, clinician-scientists are scarce, especially amongst non-physicians. The education can be complex because they must form professional identities at intersection...
Whereas much research on interest development focuses single, predefined, and generic objects of (e.g., science) in specific contexts science classroom), this study proposes a person-objects-contexts (i.e., P-O-Cs) perspective that accounts for idiosyncrasy multiplicity interests consequent intrapersonal dynamics. It reports multiple case which four students were followed over 2 years transition from secondary to higher education. Data collection included seven waves experience sampling...
Educational research is repeatedly confronted with the question of its relevance. Current interpretations relevance narrowly focus on outcomes and impact research. In this essay, we propose an alternative, ontological conceptualization relevance, arguing that more at stake than impact. We characterize ontology education learning in terms people’s meaningful movements always changing world educational resides what call “ontological synchronization”—continuous attunement to happening matters...
International collaboration projects in academic work can be considered boundary-crossing with learning potential. Contrary to perceiving diversity as a barrier for understanding, we depart from dialogical arguments ambiguity and continuous resources meaning enrichment. Here, report study of an international project gain more insight into how this resource is exploited. Using Bakhtin’s theory, negotiation processes are analysed explained by distinguishing voices stemming different...
Universities in many countries increasingly value talent, and do so by developing special honors programs for their top students. The selection process these often relies on the students' prior achievements school. Research has shown, however, that school grades not sufficiently predict academic success. According to Renzulli's (1986) three-ring model, student characteristics relating intelligence, motivation creativity are most important predictors of excellent professional life. In this...
Vocational students and beginning professionals typically find it hard to integrate the mathematics statistics that they have learned at school with work-related knowledge. To explore how such an integration process could be supported, we conducted intervention in secondary vocational laboratory education. Our boundary-crossing approach was informed by literature on boundary crossing accompanying learning mechanisms (e.g., reflection form of perspective making taking, transformation...
Students need to be challenged stimulate their learning. Applying challenge in practice however is not straightforward. Challenging students may conflict with other teacher responsibilities, creating potential dilemmas for teachers. This study discloses teachers encounter when challenging as well the considerations accompanying actual choices action coping these dilemmas. Based on interviews teachers, first, a dilemma analysis instrument was developed. Seven main categories of were found....
Purpose The notion of communities practice (CoP) has received great attention in educational and organisational research. Although the concept originally refers to collaborative practices that emerge naturally, HRD practitioners are increasingly searching for ways create these intentionally order stimulate learning professional development specific fields. This paper aims gain insight into which can be deliberately organised. Design/methodology/approach study concerns a multiple case...
The existing literature on indicators of an optimal learning environment for high-ability students frequently discusses the concept challenge. It is, however, not clear what, precisely, constitutes appropriate challenge these students. In this study, authors examined undergraduate honours course, Advanced Cell Biology, which has succeeded extremely well in challenging Methods included interviews with teachers and students, analysis course materials, observation class meetings. As part their...
