Pedagogies for Learning and Innovation

Pedagogies for Learning and Innovation (BXL621)

Synopsis

Learners will examine and trial different workplace learning pedagogies. Through this process learners will explore what it means to ‘own’ and develop their practice. That is, to be aware of systemic and cultural influences on their own and others’ assumptions. They will be introduced to a practice theoretical approach that enables analysis of cultural and historical norms that reproduce and/or create spaces of innovation, learning and change. By overlaying the ecosystem approach learners will be able to bring a powerful lens to analysing how to support learning, innovation and change.
