This paper compares three types of dialogues as reflective tools inplacement learning: supervisory dialogues (mentor to student-teacher),peer dialogues (student teacher to student teacher) and selfdialogues(student teachers to themselves). Forty-four Dutch studentteachers utilised the procedure of guided reflection to talk abouttheir teaching experience. Stimulated recall data were analysedthrough qualitative and quantitative methods. Most poignant resultwas that supervisory and peer dialogues seemed to have similarreflective power considering student teacher’s practical knowledgeand richness of argumentation for appraisals. We suggest morefrequent use of peer dialogues. Only when expert advice is needed,should one employ supervisory dialogues. As self-dialogues engenderedmost rules and resolves, they could arguably be employed forstudent teachers to consolidate their own knowledge and managetheir learning behaviour.

This paper argues that there is a need for a dialogical learning space because soft skills are becoming increasingly important in an ever more unstable labour market. Where once a monological form of education worked to prepare youth for the future, now a dialogue is required. This dialogue, by definition or in the first place seek consensus, but assumes pluralism and even conflict and is thereby intended to be a true departure from the monological nature of education.

Higher education has the potential to act as ecosystem catalysts, connecting with the places our institutions which they are a part of, for learning-based changes with wicked (sustainability) challenges. This, however, calls for reorienting and rethinking of the higher educational narratives and subsequent practices towards more ecological and relational ones. In this study, a pilot aimed to connect a course at The Hague University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands) to an industrial park next to the university which is undergoing transition towards a sustainable living space. The pilot, which ran from September 2020 to February 2021, included 17 students from 9 nationalities and 12 different bachelor programmes, and was designed according to the concepts of an ‘ecology of learning’. In this semester long course, called Mission Impact, students reflected every five-weeks, to capture their learning experiences using a combination of arts-based and narrative reflection methods. Two questions guided the analysis: (1) what are the key design characteristics of an ecological approach to higher education that connects to sustainability transformations (in times of COVID-19) and (2) what does this type of education asks from to learners. The reflective artefacts were analysed using Narratives of T-Mapping and juxtaposed with autoethnographic insights maintained by the first author for triangulation. Preliminary results of this pilot include the structure in chaos, space for transformation, openness for emerging futures & action confidence as components of such an ecological education that connects to and co-creates sustainability transformations.

Dit is een evaluatieonderzoek naar de Pilot ”Jeugd- en gezinswerker naast de huisarts in Zwolle.” De gemeente Zwolle heeft als transformatiethema “Samenhang in de toegang (tot de jeugdhulp),” waarin gewerkt wordt aan het versterken van de samenwerking tussen sociale wijkteams, huisartsen, jeugdgezondheidszorg en onderwijs rondom de toegang tot specialistische jeugdhulp. De bedoeling hiervan is dat kinderen en ouders een sneller en beter passend antwoord krijgen op hun ondersteuningsvraag. Onderdeel hiervan is de pilot ‘jeugd- en gezinswerker naast de huisarts’: in een aantal huisartsenpraktijken zijn jeugd- en gezinswerkers uit de sociale wijkteams gepositioneerd ten behoeve van een betere samenwerking. Specifiek aan de werkwijze is bovendien dat de jeugd- en gezinswerkers een contextgerichte werkwijze hanteren. In dit onderzoek wordt inzicht gegeven in de bijdrage van deze vorm van samenwerking met de huisartsen, in vergelijking met de oude situatie. Ook wordt antwoord gegeven op de vraag wat het hanteren van een contextgericht model betekent voor gezinnen, in de samenwerking tussen jeugden gezinswerkers naast de huisarts, en wat helpend kan zijn in de samenwerking. Ten slotte wordt een beknopte vergelijking gemaakt met hoe andere gemeenten de toegang tot specialistische hulp regelen. De hoofdvraag is: Wat betekent de bijdrage van een contextgerichte jeugd- en gezinswerker naast een huisarts voor de gezinnen, voor de huisarts en voor het werk van de jeugd- en gezinswerker? Dit is onderzocht door middel van diepte-interviews en focusgroepen met ouders, huisartsen en jeugd- en gezinswerkers. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat de ouders, huisartsen en jeugden gezinswerkers positief zijn over de positie en hulp van de jeugd- en gezinswerker naast de huisarts. De jeugd- en gezinswerker: - is een nieuw jeugdberoep met specifiek vakmanschap; - heeft met de positionering naast de huisarts nieuwe mogelijkheden om te helpen bij opvoedproblemen; - is snel, laagdrempelig, persoonlijk en dichtbij; - heeft de school in de schijnwerper als verwijzer en vindplaats van jeugd; - is een schakel naar de ggz en draagt bij aan cultuurverandering; - geeft ouders ondersteuning bij alledaagse pedagogische vragen met een passend verklarings- en handelingskader; - is primair gericht op een klik, een goede relatie met jeugdigen en gezinnen, waarbij een brede blik en de dialoog centraal staan. Het is zinvol om de positieve ontwikkeling van het nieuwe jeugdberoep te onderstrepen door voorlichting aan huisartsen over de manier van werken van de jeugd- en gezinswerker. Ook met het geven van terugkoppelingen naar aanleiding van casuïstiek kan aan huisartsen inzage in de inhoud van het werk gegeven worden. Een constante kwaliteit kan gewaarborgd worden met opleiding, supervisie en tijd voor reflectie. Verder is het nodig om hulpverleningsnetwerken te faciliteren, waarin tijdig en afgestemd gespecialiseerde hulp ingezet kan worden. In die netwerken kan de jeugd- en gezinswerker vanuit de eigen context- en relatiegerichtheid bijdragen aan cultuurverandering en nieuwe taal voor gemeenschappelijke hulpverlening.

To adequately deal with the challenges faced within residential care for older people, such as the increasing complexity of care and a call for more person-centred practices, it is important that health care providers learn from their work. This study investigates both the nature of learning, among staff and students working within care for older people, and how workplace learning can be promoted and researched. During a longitudinal study within a nursing home, participatory and democratic research methods were used to collaborate with stakeholders to improve the quality of care and to promote learning in the workplace. The rich descriptions of these processes show that workplace learning is a complex phenomenon. It arises continuously in reciprocal relationship with all those present through which both individuals and environment change and co-evolve enabling enlargement of the space for possible action. This complexity perspective on learning refines and expands conventional beliefs about workplace learning and has implications for advancing and researching learning. It explains that research on workplace learning is itself a form of learning that is aimed at promoting and accelerating learning. Such research requires dialogic and creative methods. This study illustrates that workplace learning has the potential to develop new shared values and ways of working, but that such processes and outcomes are difficult to control. It offers inspiration for educators, supervisors, managers and researchers as to promoting conditions that embrace complexity and provides insight into the role and position of self in such processes.

This article explores how schools can function as a pedagogical in-between space, or a pedagogical inter-space, and how lecturers can act professionally within this space, of which they themselves are also a part. Met een samenvatting in het Nederlands: De school als een ‘pedagogische tussenruimte’.

This article examines how collaborative design practices in higher education are reshaped through postdigital entanglement with generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). We collectively explore how co-design, an inclusive, iterative, and relational approach to educational design and transformation, expands in meaning, practice, and ontology when GenAI is approached as a collaborator. The article brings together 19 authors and three open reviewers to engage with postdigital inquiry, structured in three parts: (1) a review of literature on co-design, GenAI, and postdigital theory; (2) 11 situated contributions from educators, researchers, and designers worldwide, each offering practice-based accounts of co-design with GenAI; and (3) an explorative discussion of implications for higher education designs and futures. Across these sections, we show how GenAI unsettles assumptions of collaboration, knowing, and agency, foregrounding co-design as a site of ongoing material, ethical, and epistemic negotiation. We argue that postdigital co-design with GenAI reframes educational design as a collective practice of imagining, contesting, and shaping futures that extend beyond human knowing.

That expressive writing can be a beneficial response to trauma or grief is well-established in the literature. Grief research also shows that the majority of people are resilient in the face of the death of loved ones. That said, traditional rituals around loss are no longer ubiquitous, well-known phase models of bereavement are contested, and ‘unfinished business’ can create difficulties in the face of loss. Increasingly, bereavement scholars speak of a need for individuals in western society to make meaning of their own grief through narrative construction, though little is said about what constitutes a beneficial story. The author takes an autoethnographic approach to write and reflect on her spouse’s illness and death and explores through a multi-voiced expressive dialogue a personal issue around her bereavement. In an analysis of her writing, using Dialogical Self Theory, she identifies markers which may be indicative of the development of a beneficially constructed narrative. The model of writing-for-transformation is used to describe the overall intent of the process, while the dialogical markers show how progress may be identified.

Over the past decade, journalists have created in-depth interactive narratives to provide an alternative to the relentless 24-hour news cycle. Combining different media forms, such as text, audio, video, and data visualisation with the interactive possibilities of digital media, these narratives involve users in the narrative in new ways. In journalism studies, the convergence of different media forms in this manner has gained significant attention. However, interactivity as part of this form has been left underappreciated. In this study, we scrutinise how navigational structure, expressed as navigational cues, shapes user agency in their individual explorations of the narrative. By approaching interactive narratives as story spaces with unique interactive architectures, in this article, we reconstruct the architecture of five Dutch interactive narratives using the walkthrough method. We find that the extensiveness of the interactive architectures can be described on a continuum between closed and open navigational structures that predetermine and thus shape users’ trajectories in diverse ways.
