HEA Research and policy seminar/webinar on flexible pedagogies

 

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRno4s2tpANfI-6raMU28Lf6-5EpQg8Ni0u6oi1rxuKc2kBN_amKjwn4QThe next HEA Research and Policy seminar/webinar will be based on a HEA-funded research inquiry into the relationship between HE pedagogy and developments around flexible learning.

Professor Daniella Tilbury and Dr Alex Ryan, University of Gloucestershire, will be considering, Higher education for the future: flexible pedagogies that empower learners for complexity, uncertainty and change.

The research considered the pedagogical questions that arise about purposes and outcomes of HE, in an era of increasing ‘flexibility’ facilitated by technological changes, globalisation of the sector, rising participation and changing employer expectations. Key pedagogical ideas proposed by the project, including learner empowerment and decolonising education will also be discussed.

Professor Tilbury is Chair in Education for Sustainability and University Director of Sustainability at Gloucestershire, while Dr Ryan is Associate Director of Sustainability (Academic).

It will be held on 12 November in York and starts at 12:45. The event can be attended either in person or via Blackboard Collaborate. There will be a buffet lunch for anyone attending in person, which will be available from 12:00. Further details about the event are available here.

The previous seminar, on Considering teaching excellence, by Dr Vicky Gunn from the University of Glasgow can be viewed here.

Commission of Audit must not lead to cuts, privatisation of public services Australians rely on

 

 

http://www.nteu.org.au//var/files/thumbs/a780532dd116f8da145bac8c4c7961bc_default_w80_.jpgBy Jeannie Rea (NTEU National Office). The Abbott Government's Commission of Audit is nothing but a process to outsource public policy to big business and pave the way for cuts to public services, the ACTU said today.
ACTU President Ged Kearney said that this had already happened in Queensland where the Newman Government used the same process to savagely cut public services such as health care and social welfare services leaving many of its community in the lurch and moving to privatise provision of important public services.

OECD publications and international media regularly discuss the impact of immigrants on host-country societies. This month’s PISA in Focus looks at the issue from a different perspective: how effectively do the education systems of host countries integrate their immigrant students?
Between 2000 and 2009, across OECD countries the proportion of 15-year-olds with an immigrant background increased from 8% to 10%. In Ireland, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, the Russian Federation, Spain and the United States, the proportion of immigrant students increased by five percentage points or more during that time, and these students now represent from 8% to 30% of these countries’ student population. Education systems play a critical role in the process of integration: they give immigrants and their children opportunities to acquire the skills needed for them to join the labour market. More...
