Edupunk against Blackboard, for eLearning 2.0, and what next?

Dominik Lukes — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 18:33:03 +0100

A new term has made its way into the edu blogosphere (such as it is): edupunk. Coined by Jim Groom, it made its way to me via Martin Weller's blog who also shared the excellent Edupunk video (see below). Edupunk spoke eloquent volumes of its potential to me the second I scanned over the word my RSS reader - in fact it got me so excited I started a public Google Notebook with excerpts from the discussion. I believe that destructivism and contrariness are just as necessary parts of the debate as constructiveness and concilliation. So, edupunk is more than welcome on the scene. Let's hope it gets a bit more traction - the Wikipedia entry may help.

National Curriculum revisited?

Dominik Lukes — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 10:10:21 +0000

It was only last week that Richard Pring raised the question of the wisdom of National Curriculum in the context of Deweyan philosophy and the idea of national curriculum can also be seen as partly in conflict with recent efforts at the personalisation of education. And it turns out, at exactly the same time

Research Interests

Dr. Anna Robinson-Pant is Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Applied Research in Education, School of Education and Lifelong Learning. She has wide experience of educational research, planning and training in South Asia (particularly Nepal), having worked for various international and local development agencies, including VSO and ActionAid. She won the UNESCO/UIE International Award for Literacy Research in 1998 for her study of women’s literacy and development in Nepal (Why eat green cucumber at the time of dying? Exploring the link between women's literacy and development, 2001, UNESCO Institute for Education, Hamburg – now published in French and Spanish). She continued to challenge the dominant instrumental view of ‘literacy for women’ through raising the profile of participatory and ethonographic research approaches in the international development arena with her edited volume, Women, Literacy and Development (Routledge, 2004).

Anna continues to work on education and development, through the cross-school EDU/DEV Literacy and Development Group (see http://www.uea.ac.uk/dev/literacy ). With LDG, she has organised international conferences on: ‘Literacies, identity and social change’ (2006), ‘The schooling of literacies’ (2005), ‘Developing gender equality in adult education’ (2004), and ‘Making Literacy Count’ (2003), a regular public seminar series at UEA on Education and Development and thematic symposia at the biennual UKFIET Oxford Conference on Education and Development: ‘Literacies and Livelihoods’ (2005) and ‘Literacy and growth’ (2007). The conferences led to the following special journal issues: ‘Gender Equality in Adult Education’, International Journal of Educational Development Vol. 26, No.2 (guest edited by Rao and Robinson-Pant) and Journal of Development Studies (forthcoming) on ‘Literacies, identity and social change’ (guest edited by Basu, Maddox & Robinson-Pant). Anna continues to engage in debates on international literacy policy and practice: she acted in an expert advisory group for scoping the UNESCO Global Monitoring Report on Education for All 2006 (Literacy) and contributed to a series of background papers for UNESCO on the ‘Benefits of Literacy’.

Aiming to bring her experience of participatory research on communicative practices into the UK context, Anna has directed action research projects with children and teachers in Norfolk primary schools on participation and voice (with Sue Cox). ‘Children Decide: Power, participation and purpose in the primary classroom’ (CfBT-funded) involved children conducting action research with their class teachers on decision making. This project built on findings from an action-oriented project on school councils: ‘Empowering Children through Visual Communication’. Both projects were CfBT-funded – research reports are available from libby.allen@uea.ac.uk , and on www.cfbt.com/research . With Sue Cox and researchers from the Universities of Birmingham and Leeds, Anna is currently organising an ESRC seminar series on ‘Children as Decision Makers’, which has brought together educators, activists and researchers working in countries in the South and North (see seminar papers on www.childrenasdecisionmakers.org ).

Anna is Editor of Compare: a journal of comparative education and through this role and teaching international students, has become interested in exploring ways of transforming the geopolitics of academic publishing and knowledge production. Compare is now piloting a programme to support new writers, particularly from the South (for further details, contact compare@uea.ac.uk). As convenor of research methods courses for PhD students, Anna has conducted research with international research students on their academic experiences at UEA (see Cross-cultural Perspectives on Educational Research (October 2005) Open University Press). She is actively involved in finding ways to improve the learning and teaching of international students at UEA, building on a UEA Teaching Fellowship award (2006) for research in this area with Nalini Boodhoo.

Research Interests

Sue Cox is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education and Lifelong Learning at UEA where she is involved in teaching and research. She is course director of the MA (Advanced Educational Practice) and teaches on the Primary PGCE course. Both her teaching and research are informed by her background in philosophy of education. She is interested in working with teachers on understanding practice in order to improve it and enhance the educational opportunities of children.

Her research interests centre on Primary Curriculum and Pedagogy. Two main strands of her research are art education and children’s participation, both in the primary phase. In the area of art education she is particularly interested in the role of art in meaning making, particularly the significance of children’s early mark making in relation to children’s thinking and learning.

In the area of children’s participation she is concerned with developing children’s role in decision making in areas that affect their lives, particularly in their school settings but also in their communities. This has also included a focus on children as researchers. The research projects she has carried out in these areas have used action research methodology, to effect change, and have highlighted the need for children to be involved in decisions about learning and teaching as well as the need for them to be active citizens not only in the future but in the here and now. Her interest in action research builds on a long standing interest in this approach to the improvement of practice and also on earlier work in this area, related to the development of her own practice in teacher education.

Recent research projects include:

2002/2003 ‘Empowering Children through Visual Communication’ (funded by CfBT).This project explored how visual means could be used to improve communication, participation and decision making between children and between adults and children. Communication in school councils was the starting point.

2004/6 ‘Children Decide: power, participation and purpose in the primary classroom’ (funded by CfBT). The findings of the previous project, particularly around power relations, gave rise to this second project, which aimed for children and teachers to develop a more collaborative approach to making decisions.

2003/5 ‘Exploring and Developing Alternatives to Linear Models of Curriculum Planning and Teaching in Primary Classrooms’), a project funded by ‘Creative Partnership Project’ (Arts Council and DfES). This followed up her interests in children’s role in curriculum decision making, focusing on the development of a ‘process’ approach to planning, working to develop practice with a group of primary school teachers.

In 2006/7 she is running an ESRC seminar series (with Anna Robinson Pant and in collaboration with the universities of Birmingham and Leeds) entitled ‘Children as Decision Makers’ which includes a cross-cultural perspective on children’s participation and the role of children as researchers.
