Join the conversation about the future of performance and expertise.

As part of our evaluation in the course Learning and Teaching Theories (at the master program of Educational Science), we were tasked with selecting a high-quality research paper that addresses innovative pedagogical methods in our country and contributes significantly to learning and teaching dynamics. I chose to focus on the influential work titled "Community-as-pedagogy: Environmental Leadership for Youth in Rural Costa Rica," published in 2020 at the Environmental Education Research. This research resonated with me profoundly, not only because it aligns perfectly with the project's requirements but because of the topic in environmental educationl, the processes and the research design, and how the researches worked with Puerto Jiménez's community in a comprehensive, collaborative way . Therefore, for this assignment, I created a poster that summarizes the key aspects of your study, including: - Presentation of the topic and the main ideas and features. - The core research findings and evidence supporting the effectiveness of the pedagogical approach you discussed. - The strengths and potential challenges in implementing this educational initiative.

This must have been an interesting conference! Lots to learn from! Love the summary of key questions: 1. What are our core values? 2. Do we want reform of or a break with the status quo? 3. Who makes these decisions? 4. How are decisions around Open Access linked to other aspects of Open Research? https://lnkd.in/e-pxTWkt

CALL FOR PAPERS: International Conference: Islands and Island Studies 2025 - Visions, Strategies and Local Projects Venue: JICAS, Jersey, Channel Islands, 3 - 7 June 2025 https://lnkd.in/erdjrUpU Organised by the Jersey International Centre of Advanced Studies (JICAS) in collaboration with Shima and the Small Island Cultures Research Initiative (SICRI). The Islands and Island Studies 2025 conference will provide an opportunity for researchers, administrators, policy makers and islanders to explore key questions concerning island societies and jurisdictions in the early 21st Century and to review research in the field to date. The conference will comprise 3 plenary sessions and two parallel panel strands: Plenary #1 — Lessons from and challenges for Jersey — featuring contributions from Jersey government officers and representatives of local organisations. Plenary #2 — Two decades of Island Studies as represented in its journals — featuring presentations from journal editors Philip Hayward (Shima), Sun-Kee Hong (The Journal of Marine and Island Cultures), Ping Su (Island Studies Journal) Ayano Ginoza (former editor of the Okinawan Journal of Island Studies) + response by Jonathan Pugh (Professor of island Studies, Newcastle University, UK) (tbc). Plenary #3 — New Voices in Island Studies (programmed by SICRI) — featuring presentations from six emerging island Studies scholars. Proposals for papers should be 250–300 words long and should be submitted to [email protected] by November 1st 2024 and notifications of acceptance will be issued by December 10th 2024. Any inquiries as to the suitability of proposed topics and/or proposals for panels can be sent to Philip Hayward (on behalf of the conference organising committee) at [email protected] by October 1st 2024.

🤩🤩🤩🤩 Proud and excited to see this paper published today, one that I co-authored with colleague, Hannah Hogarth, for the Australian Journal of Environmental Education. "Mess-making as a Force for Resistance: Reimagining Environmental Educational Research for Multispecies Flourishing" ❤️We loved writing this - drawing on our two doctoral inquiries, the conceptualisation of our messy ideas took about one year to write as we deep dived into posthumanist theory, arts-based research, multispecies relationships, pedagogical approaches, empirical materials, and of course, the ecological breakdown that we are all situated with/in today. 🐝Broadly, we propose mess-making as a research and pedagogical approach that 1) resists the civilising, domesticating, controlling ways that children and young people experience education across the world today; 2) resists the anthropocentrism that is imbued in our communities, systems, organisations that contribute to ecosystemic ill-health. 🙏I welcome any thoughts on the mess that we unravel here. 🐈🙋♀️And not to get too political, but it seems like a current topic of interest - proud cat lady here and pleased that Chutney and I shared a research encounter - read more about this in the article!

📝 Call for Papers!! The ijMPB invites you to submit your work for the special issue: “Rethinking the creation of social value through projects”. This call for papers seeks multidisciplinary research on social value (SV) in projects, focusing on new theoretical and methodological approaches to understand the processes and mechanisms in which SV is created, captured, and retained. We also seek contributions that explore how to address broader societal needs and their stakeholders. 🗓Deadline: December 31 Guest Editors: Francesco Di Maddaloni, Ata Babaei, Lauri Vuorinen, Vedran Zerjav, Nathalie Drouin 🔍For more detailed information about the topics and submission guidelines visit the official site of the call: https://lnkd.in/eDuNEfQQ   Visit the official page of the IJMPB! https://lnkd.in/eDHdMPCq

Grant applications are still open! If you are using cutting-edge or novel methodologies in your research, be sure to apply before September 30th! “I leverage SurveyCTO to run two field conjoint experiments in Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire, showing the extent to which households think land titles would actually secure their property. By unpacking when households perceive land titles to be useful, this research explores the demand for, rather than the supply of, land titles. These results will be useful to any policy maker designing or implementing programs aimed to secure or formalize land tenure.” - Matthew K. Ribar, PhD candidate in Political Science, Stanford University, 2023 full grant recipient. We encourage you to apply! 👉🏻 https://ow.ly/YYMU50SUZGw

If you are a University of Nottingham researcher planning to apply for our Quality-Related Policy Support Funding (QR-PSF), we would like to show you what makes a good project and what type of approaches are included. In the last three years, we have been able to support a wide range of projects at all stages of the policy engagement process from conception and capacity building through to implementation. In this blog post, we take a look at some of those projects and explore some of the factors behind their success. Read here: https://lnkd.in/eQpvZuKW

As a Clinical Trial Manager we are always juggling multiple plates especially when setting up a new Clinical Study/Trial. I am a firm believer in systems and processes and often include them as part of my work ethic. It is really important for sponsors and researchers to be aware of the key differences in the approval and set up process in the UK nations. Therefore I was pleased that the Health Research Authority launched a toolkit to help researchers to navigate the differences between doing study submissions across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. The toolkit includes information on: ✔️Approvals processes in the NHS and HSC intrusive research involving adults lacking capacity ✔️General medical devices and in-vitro medical devices ✔️Accessing identifiable data without consent provision of the local information pack to potential participating organisations ✔️Contracting arrangements It is recommend to use the toolkit during the planning and application stages and should be revisited if thinking of making changes to your study or just to keep your knowledge up to date whilst running your research across more than one UK nation. ➡️PDF Offline version of decision tool kit: https://lnkd.in/e5uzCRZR ➡️Direct link to the decision tool kit: https://lnkd.in/eeADkM5W 👇🏽Comment below if you think this will help reduce the timeframe of study set-up in the UK.

Disruptive frameworks should not aim for universality or replicability but should foster diverse, context-specific approaches that challenge dominant paradigms and enhance the inclusivity and relevance of scientific research.
