ASEM LLL Research Network 2 Meeting
11-13 July 2011, University of Innsbruck, Austria
This meeting included three sections:
- Follow-up to the RN2 survey: comparative analysis and interpretation
- Workshop papers by network members related to the overall theme
- Activity plan through to the next ASEM LLL Hub Conference in Copenhagen, Spring 2012.
The meeting identified six new possible themes, all of which would be studied from a comparative perspective:
- Roles and professional development of ‘industry educators’ (i.e. trainers, supervisors, mentors/counsellors etc. at the workplace)
- Family-company value systems, learning and democratic working organisations
- Gendered learning organisations: cultures, practices and communities of power and recognition
- Affective commitment and active citizenship: the significance of personal development and emotional engagement to company and workplace learning cultures and practices
- Innovation and development: cycles and pathways of polarisation and diffusion in the distribution of learning opportunities and participation in expanding work organisations
- Research paradigms and methods: gaining Ragan’s functional equivalence in European-Asian inquiry that takes serous account of cultural difference.
