1	A case study of two administrators from an NGO who developed from novices to experts Soci, Theresa Querida January 2010 (has links) Magister Educationis - MEd / This research explores the learning journey that was traveled by the two administrators who joined a non-governmental organisation as novices over ten years ago almost fresh from school and are now regarded as experts in their respective positions. The research attempts to describe the nature of their learning and analyse how they became the knowledgeable in their respective posts.The research is a qualitative study that analyses data obtained through interviewing the key subjects (the administrators) and the chief executive officer (CEO) of the organisation as well as the self narrative as compiled by the administrators.This research questions formalised learning as the only form of acquiring knowledge and accordingly adopted workplace learning as a theoretical framework for the study. Workplace learning stresses that knowledge is not limited to formalised settings such as schools, colleges and universities. Rather, knowledge is also constructed in informal and non-formal settings such as work-places and in families.The study found that the administrators drew on many learning strategies to acquire their knowledge and skills related to administration which includes learning through:·The teachings and support of their supervisors and peers;·Collaboration with peers and working as a team;·Seeking advice from their mentors, coaches and peers; ·Modeling ·Workplace affordances.The study concluded that indeed formalised learning has not been the only form of acquiring knowledge for the subjects but workplace learning has played a vital role in their career development.

Larsson, Helen, Karlsson, Hanna January 2013 (has links) The aim of this study is to examine how teachers enable students with intellectual disabilities to participate in their own learning journey. The study is based on qualitative methods and data collection has been done through five individual interviews in another European country. The interviews are analysed with a qualitative method inspired by Bryman (2011). The studies theoretical frame is founded on thoughts of Dewey (1997; 2002; 2004). The results of this study shows, among other things, that good relationship between adults in school and students are an important base for participation. To build a good relationship to the students, the teacher has to have good knowledge of each individual student and its disability. To create conditions for students participation in their own learning it is important to ground the education and teaching on meaningful learning based on the students interests. The students need to see their own development through small steps. It is significant that the students know what and why they are working with each assignment. That enables their participation in their own learning journey. Another thing that the results of the study show, is that the context of the school enables students participating. It is about the schools approach and sharing experience and knowledge with other teachers. It is important that each teacher is involved in a good communication system where they all work towards the same goal for the students.
