Research on work-related learning

22-November-2005

The group working on structuring resources on 'research on work-related learning' is principally drawn from projects in the Teaching and Learning Research Programme, with support from researchers from IER and SKOPE. This is an inclusive activity and we would welcome contributions and ideas from others too.

The current developments on the site demonstrated the potential to cluster issues related to work-related learning. From a TLRP perspective the group felt that it would be important to produce some narratives that through hyper-linking allowed users to go in different directions and also allowed for different perspectives. It was felt that the initial clustering was important as this needed to support investigation of theoretical and methodological issues as well learning processes and to allow switching between different levels of analysis.

In order to allow for different lenses with which it would be possible to view research on work-related learning the group felt that 12 - 20 branches might be about the right number for ease of organisation. After discussions in small groups at two meetings the group as a whole came up with the following ten categories:

  • Research Methodologies / Strategies
  • Theoretical bases
  • Learning contexts and settings
  • Organisational learning and work design
  • Strategies for enhancing learning
  • Factors affecting learning
  • Policy (national / regional / organisational)
  • Learning processes
  • Knowledge at work
  • Learning trajectories and transfer

Welcome to the Work Related Learning weblog

This is a demo post, really. It's here just so that there is something in the blog before I show it to the team!

This is a test post to inaugurate the new Work Related Learning weblog. these blogs will be getting a nice fresh coat of styling and features over the next week or two!

Guidance | crossref.org : : the reference linking backbone

This post tracks back to a post in another weblog. By simply using the 'blog this' bookmarklet, you can continue discussions in other places, even other systems. Discussion no longer needs to be tree-shaped!

The following is really here just to illustrate the power of cross-linking discussion via trackbacks.

CrossRef is also the official DOI registration agency for scholarly and professional publications. It operates a cross-publisher citation linking system that allows a researcher to click on a reference citation on one publisher’s platform and link directly to the cited content on another publisher’s platform, subject to the target publisher’s access control practices. Our citation-linking network today covers millions of articles and other content items from several hundred scholarly and professional publishers

...Of course, the content cited above is also important for things like getting a universal digital object identifier registered for all the academic or research content on the NGRF site.
