LV-Beschreibung
Intendierte Lernergebnisse
The Klagenfurt Research Retreat, a doctoral school, is conceptualized as a meeting of a scientific community on Adult Education and Transformation. It intends to offer a retreat from the usual and habitual environment and seeks to foster holistic learning processes. It enables researchers to meet in a pleasant and stimulating location, where workshops, debate and collective learning, working on own research projects (writing labs), combined with social activities. We will jointly explore the landscapes of adult education and learning in reference to the national/regional educational systems of adult education and learning of participants sharing information on the genesis, traditions and current trends of these various systems in relation to transformative possibilities and challenges. The Klagenfurt Research Retreat will also seek to create space for debating concepts and approaches to transformation. This intends to bring to the fore the diversity and differences in transformation theories.
Our primary aim is to prioritize the participants’ research interests (doctoral theses and research projects) and create an arena for exchange, reflection, theorizing and exploring ideas in order to amend the respective research projects, and finally, to foster networking and establish a basis for a community of research in the research field on Adult Education and Transformation.
What we offer participating doctoral students:
The Klagenfurt ResearchRetreat is organised in cooperation with ESREA, the European Society forResearch on the Education of Adults. The purpose of this doctoral school is to support doctoral and early career researchers by enhancing collaboration and networking among the more experienced ones and beginners. The Klagenfurt Research Retreat aims to create a convivial space for deep dialogue, reflection and discussion on the transformative character (in statu nascendi, in progress and/or as result) of being, living, working and learning of adults in interaction with society, environment and politics over the lifespan, and it enables the participation in and the contribution to the international debate and provides possibilities for networking.
Lehrmethodik
The Klagenfurt Research Retreat wishes to take this theme "Adult Education and Transformation" to explore how adult education can actively and collectively shape the future towards a more sustainable society and just society. In this way the retreat will seek to create a reflective space which is strongly rooted in the adult education research field and to take time for doctoral students to discuss issues which have been a mainstay of ESREA’s various network conferences and Triennial events The doctoral school which is designed for using diverse methodologies and theoretical perspectives is interested in critical reflection on the theme of transformation as it relates to adult education and learning. We take up this broad theme to explore transformation and adult education in relation to work, economic change, digitisation, politics, human rights, gender, social inequalities, migration, and of course the relationship between humans and the environment.
We have formulated three overarching questions that can help in looking at research projects collectively:
• How can these interrelations and educational, social, demographic, political, environmental etc. transformations be studied?
• Which (learning) theories, epistemological/ontological perspectives or sociology of knowledge, and which research methodologies and methods, which forms of knowledge production support the reading/interpreting/analysing and systematising of transformations?
• How does (the) research relate to educational practice and society? How can results be disseminated in both scientifically and socially adequate ways and in new, futureoriented ways?
However, the scope of the Klagenfurt Research Retreat depends on the submissions and contributions of all participants and will be dealt with collectively during the event. This is also the basis for jointly identifying relevant topics or gaps for the years to come.
Inhalt/e
We intend to create communicative spaces for lively debate in participatory way.
In line with the concept of a research retreat, following andragogical principles, and fostering a
high level of involvement of doctoral students, the Klagenfurt Research Retreat will be based on:
- Dialogical forums: This plenary format intends to promote collective discourse and exchange and co-creation of knowledge. The first dialogical forum provides an overview of topics, theoretical frameworks and research fields and research questions based on the applications. The second dialogical forum is dedicated to an exchange on the various landscapes of Adult Education and Learning as represented by the participants: reflecting on national educational systems for adult education and learning (ALE), and vocational education and training (VET), traditions and genesis, frames of reference, and explaining the respective research focus and question related to these considerations. The third dialogical forum opens up debate on concepts and approaches to transformation as represented in the doctoral theses and research projects. This intends to bring to the fore the variety of ideas of transformation and related theories and current state of research in the respective fields of research. Invited speakers contribute to all three dialogical forums by responding to issues and initiating deep dialogue by questioning, problem-posing, and critical reflection.
• Plenary meet-ups (each morning): This format seeks to summarize the previous day (processes/results, open questions, status quo) and enable the participating PhD students to speak up.
• Parallel workshops: In this format small groups collaborate that have been grouped in advance, e.g. by topic or research method. In the workshops, research approaches and designs of participants’ thesis are dealt with, and methodological considerations are provided by experienced scholars.
• Parallel peer-mentoring sessions: In this format, peer-mentoring activities on either data collection (e.g., interview questions or questionnaire, observation protocols) or data analysis take place. Participants share brief information on their data, and questions or dilemmas they bring along, and provide instruments or selected data. These small work sessions are based on questions concerning data collection or collective interpretation/analysis of data among peers. These sessions are facilitated by teams of predoc and post-doc researchers.
• Gallery walk: In this format, participants are asked to look back and reflect on the outcomes of their participation: To what extent and how have debates, inputs, feedback and comments influenced the current individual work process? Where do they feel reassured, puzzled, stimulated, influenced, transformed or the like? This learning process is to be expressed: e.g. in the form of a poster, a photo, a drawing, a poem, a statement or the like.
• Closing session (plenary debate): In this format, a plenary discussion takes place, based on the processes and results of each session in order to identify relevant topics or gaps for the years to come (next KRR).
• Writing lab: This format is an optional offer where writing counselling is offered by trained writing tutors
Curriculare Anmeldevoraussetzungen
This is an offer for doctoral students.
Literatur
Literature will be discussed during sessions and provided in the Moodle course (e-learning platform/course management system).
Prüfungsinformationen
Prüfungsmethode/n
Engaged participation in all KRR-formats (according to the scheduled activities and formats) is required. Contributing to discussions based on own research as well as taking up the research of the other participants in a critical-constructive way is vital.
Prüfungsinhalt/e
The contents of the examination correspond to the KRR as a whole.
Based on the inputs of all participants, the topic "Adult Education and Transformation" is worked on aiming at mapping possibilities and embracing complexity.
The basis for this is provided in particular by the research projects of all doctoral students involved.
Beurteilungskriterien/-maßstäbe
Engaged participation as outlined above is obligatory.
A reflection paper with a length of 5 pages has to be submitted after the event.
This reflection paper mainly consists of: a discussion of how the feedback on one's own research project is processed; it reports on one's own learning process during the KRR; it specifies what learning outcomes were achieved.
