Significance of individual dispositions - article by hodkinson and Hodkinson
[ Go there ]
- ABSTRACT This article about workplace learning examines the relationship between,firstly, individual learners positions and dispositions, and secondly, their working and learning within the workplace community and practices. Drawing on research with secondary school teachers, it presents case study accounts of two teachers from the same school to illustrate the significance of these relationships. In order to understand these relationships from a broadly participatory perspective, the article then presents a theoretical
discussion, extending Lave and Wenger’s work on communities of practice, through the use of Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus, capital and field. It concludes that such a combination offers a valuable means of understanding these relationships, in a wider social, economic and political context.
It is necessary to offer an account of learning for work which acknowledges
the independence of individuals acting within the interdependence of the
social practice of work. (Billett, 2001, p. 22)
Here we can decide on what we see as the key factors affecting learning.
It may be that we want to point to content that illustrates certain themes as well as some that offers models of these factors.
