Keynote Speakers

Learning the Complexity of Professional Practice

June 25th 13.00 – 13.50

MICHAEL ERAUT is Professor of Education at the Sussex Institute of the University

of Sussex Michael is the UK’s leading researcher in the field of professional learning and how professionals learn in work place settings His pioneering research has found that most learning occurs informally during normal working processes and that there is considerable scope for recognising and enhancing such learning Professor

Eraut’s books include the highly acclaimed Developing Professional Knowledge and

Competence.

Michael’s keynote will focus on the ways in which people learn to become a professional in their chosen field drawing particularly on the research he has undertaken in the fields of nursing, accountancy and engineering He will pay particular attention to the role of enquiry and the ways in which learning is facilitated

in the process of professional formation He will also consider how enquiry features in tackling professional problems with a view to promoting discussion on higher

education’s role in developing the capabilities and attitudes necessary to master the complexities of professional practice.

Facilitating Interdisciplinary Inquiry: an immersive

approach developed by the Virginia Ball Centre for Creative Inquiry

June 25th 16.30 – 17.45

JOSEPH TRIMMER is Professor of English and Director of The Virginia B Ball

Centre for Creative Inquiry at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana The author of numerous articles on literature, culture and literacy, Professor Trimmer’s books

include The National Book Award for Fiction: The First Twenty-five Years [1978];

Understanding Others: Cultural and Cross-Cultural Studies and the Teaching of Literature [1992]; and Narration As Knowledge: Tales of the Teaching Life [1997] His

textbooks include Writing With a Purpose, 14th edition [2004]; The Riverside Reader

9th edition [2007]; eFICTIONS [2002]; and Sundance Introduction to Literature[2007]

Professor Trimmer has also worked on twenty documentary films for PBS—including

the six-part series, Middletown [1982], which was nominated for ten Emmys and won

first prize at the Sundance Film Festival

Joe’s interactive keynote will describe and draw lessons from the approach that has been developed and

pioneered at the Virginia Ball Centre for Creative Inquiry The Centre sponsors four interdisciplinary, collaborative, community based seminars each year that enable faculty and students to work collaboratively to:

 explore the connections among the arts, humanities, science and technology,

 create a product to illustrate their collaborative research and interdisciplinary study

 present their product to the community in a public forum

Four faculty members are chosen – two in the autumn and two in the spring – to facilitate the seminars and fifteen

students are selected by application or audition to participate in each seminar Working with a community sponsor,

each group creates a product [e.g an exhibit, performance or publication] to engage the community in public dialogue Each group is supported with a budget of $15,000 The Centre provides a summer stipend to enable faculty to prepare for their seminar and covers the cost of a semester's ‘leave’ for the four fellows to facilitate their

Learning to Learn through Supported Enquiry Symposium

AC Lecture Theatre

Chair: Dr Bill Hucthings, Director, CEEBL University of Manchester

Learning to Learn through Supported Enquiry (L2L) is an FDTL5 project which started in January 05 and is due

to complete in July 07 The aims of the project are –

 To improve student learning by deepening the learning experience to emphasis intentional ‘learning to learn’

so enabling students to become self directed learners

 To support staff as they evolve conceptions and practice in teaching and learning that are enquiry based and

to map lines of development between current and more enquiry based practices

 To enhance knowledge of how to transfer educational developments through an evolutionary approach to introducing enquiry processes

In this symposium we will illustrate the genesis of the project; map our conceptual understanding of EBL; share stories of enquiry based learning in three disciplinary settings; talk about our learning from the project and show how participants in the project have moved forward into new cycles of enquiry and development
