Collaborative research for sustainable learning: the case of developing innovation capabilities at Volvo Cars   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

Sofia Börjesson 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2011,8(3):187-209

This paper aims to make a contribution to the stream of literature on action research by describing a longitudinal collaborative research project which evolved out of a long-term, participation partnership with Volvo Cars. The collaboration was aimed at developing innovation capabilities in the company and accumulating knowledge on how capabilities are developed. The paper provides insights into the design of collaborative research projects to enable mutual, sustainable learning. It draws on key notions in the literature on collaborative management research and action learning, highlighting the research design of the project at Volvo Cars and its relations to action learning. The paper describes how the research design opened the way to establishing a learning system at Volvo Cars while simultaneously generating new scientific knowledge within the area of innovation capabilities. The paper provides rich and detailed data on a collaborative research setting and highlights key aspects related to organizing and undertaking collaborative research.  相似文献   

The Bicycle Assembly Line Game     

Dorothy Klotz 《Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education》2011,9(3):371-377

“The Bicycle Assembly Line Game” is a team‐based, in‐class activity that helps students develop a basic understanding of continuously operating processes. Each team of 7–10 students selects one of seven prefigured bicycle assembly lines to operate. The lines are run in real‐time, and the team that operates the line that yields the highest revenue wins. Students learn through discovery “What drives output rate?”; “How is capacity managed relative to market demand?”; and “Why does inventory accumulate?” Because task times are constant, the game provides a nice lead‐in to the topic of line balancing. This game has been successfully used in both undergraduate‐ and MBA‐level operations management courses.  相似文献   

Assessing Library Automation and Virtual Library Development in Four Academic Libraries in Oyo,Oyo State,Nigeria     

Belau Olatunde  Gbadamosi 《美中教育评论》2011,(5):711-717

The paper examines the level of library automation and virtual library development in four academic libraries. A validated questionnaire was used to capture the responses from academic librarians of the libraries under study. The paper discovers that none of the four academic libraries is fully automated. The libraries make use of librarians with background training in computer applications coupled with in-house and sponsored conferences and workshops. Again, none of the automation and internet equipments in these four institutions is assessed to be adequate. The paper recommends that parent institutions should give priority to the development of library automation and virtual library development through internet connectivity by voting adequate fund to this project.  相似文献

教师的文化知识:创造教学的当下意义及其改进的无限可能——密西根大学Kathryn M.Anderson-Levitt教授访谈     

王艳玲 《全球教育展望》2011,(10):3-11

凯瑟琳M.安德森-莱维特教授从教育人类学的视角研究教师知识及其教学。她将教师的文化知识定义为教师所具有的知识、信念、态度,以及教师用以完成教学的实践中的知识;它包括教师从教育学院和实际工作中获得的专业知识,也包含了对课堂、儿童和教学的常识性理解和想当然的知识。她通过人类学的田野研究,得出教师文化知识的五个类别:安排学年课程的知识、组织教学活动的知识、评价学生学习的知识,解释并补救学业失败的知识,以及实践中的知识。她发现,存在着一种对学校教育的跨国理解,或者说,存在着全球化的共同的教育话语,但是在本土层面,学校教学和改革却存在深刻的文化差异。  相似文献   

知识社会学：师生冲突的一种研究视角     

陈文心  叶秀丹 《海南广播电视大学学报》2011,12(3):90-94

知识社会学为师生冲突研究提供了一个新的认识视角：在教育场域中,师生关系是在知识的再生产和接受中建立起来的。师生交往过程实质上是师生间知识的社会建构过程,师生冲突往往表现为师生知识视界的碰撞,其背后充斥着知识与社会权力的矛盾和斗争。教师合理消解与应对教育场域中师生冲突的策略是：更新冲突观,改变参与知识方式,与学生展开知识对话,引导学生学会知识选择。  相似文献
