EAPRIL conference 2012

The EAPRIL (European Association for Practitioner Research on Improving Learning in education and professional practice) conference is from Wednesday 23rd of November – Friday 25th of November 2011 at HAN University of Applied Sciences, Nijmegen.

Conference theme: ‘Balancing workplace learning and practitioner research across professional fields’ .
For the upcoming EAPRIL conference we invite researchers and practitioners who can inspire colleagues how to design research in the context of workplace learning and/or would like to share their ideas and experiences with regard to practice-based research with practitioners in the field. Workplace learning is of special interest in dual education as dual education gets its shape and stature by learning in and through working activities. An illustrative example are the teachers and students in so-called professional development schools (PDS). Professional development schools provide an important and rich learning environment within teacher training. Training activities and responsibilities are increasingly transferred from the teacher training college to the PDS. This transfer includes developing research competencies: becoming a teacher-researcher by being a teacher-researcher in the context of a PDS.
