Coming to the International Consortium for Educational Development (ICED) in Cape
Town in November 2016 are presentations and discussions from an international research
project
“The flow of new knowledge practices: An inquiry into teaching,
learning and curriculum dynamics in academic workgroups”. This study departs
from the tradition in education research that favours an individualised and cognitive
focus on professional development, and brings attention to the disciplinary collective
as the site for researching change. The study aims to bring fresh theoretical
perspectives to this field through social, cultural and material approaches to
teaching and learning change, extending educational development and its
capacity for ethical action to the institutional arrangements and agencies of
the university meso-level.
