• W7501743 abstract "Information technologies now enable people to communicate m real-time on a planetary scale. Previously isolated cultures have become interdependent in dynamic relationships of economy, government and society, where electronic information is a universal currency instantly distributed by a global web of inter-computer networks. Traditional labour theories of value are being rapidly superseded by knowledge value systems. Government and corporate rhetoric is now suffused with references to intellectual capital and employment opportunities that increasingly depend on people who can put knowledge to work in fluid, fast-changing landscapes. Thus, education has a critical and enhanced role in this new world order where knowledge is seen as the key to wealth and the engine of social change. By implication, universities are under increased pressure to develop and produce 'fast' knowledge workers by means of flexible formats of educational delivery. This dissertation examines the implications of these imperatives by undertaking an investigation into the professional development of the author as university teacher. The work responds to what has become known as the 'triple challenge' for universities, that is, i) to provide increased accessibility and student-centredness of higher education, ii) to achieve greater economy of operations but with less traditional sources of funding, and iii) to maintain quality, but also improve learning outcomes. The aim is to scrutinise the meaning of the terms 'flexible delivery' and 'lifelong learning' in the context of changing university structures and priorities. To do so, the author investigates teaching and learning practices that arise from within his specialist domains of professional music-making and education in music technology. The dissertation then argues the implications of this project for an overarching investigation of 'new learning' arising out of global change and its effects on all participants within the pedagogical arena - students, teachers, and the university as an organisational culture.The research is located amid two sets of contestations - that which exists between corporate managers and practitioners, and that which exists between practical creativity and the traditional research culture. In keeping with the challenge of working in this shifting and fragmented terrain, the research methodology makes a postmodern break with traditional formats by employing a generative 'double-science' approach to practitioner-research. However, the project was not generated out of postmodern theory, but out of the 'messiness' inherent in teaching practice. It is not, therefore, a 'postmodern' project, despite the fact that postmodern scholarship informs recent developments in the author's thinking about pedagogical praxis. The enquiry strives to transcend the divides of 'science' and 'experience' by generating a confluence of knowledges, a co-authorship arising from a symbiosis of analytical scholarship and artistic creativiry. The action is about both 'doing practice' and 'troubling practice'. It acknowledges the non-innocence of any knowledge production where the practitioner is both the researcher and the researched. Central to the design is a double-pronged engagement in/with analysis/application whereby recurring themes are deconstructed in chaptered sub-cycles that spiral toward validation and theory-building. It is a reflexive process which works through compounding reconstructions of information, through re-comparisons and member-checks that provide multiple accounts of the data-as-evidence.The dissertation argues a new logic that arises out of an explicit interrogation of the complexiry, uncertainty, and artistry of pedagogical practices in the context of the author's work. It demonstrates how flexible learning mechanisms can exist amid the artificially imposed boundaries of class segregation and discipline. In the exploration of these opportunities, it is shown that powerful new relationships can be mobilised by the supportive use of information technologies. An examination of collaborative teamwork, interdisciplinary groupings and cross-year activities suggests ways in which current demands for increased accessibility and student-centredness might be met. With its focus on improving practice, the research documents pedagogical activity that is not only generative of theory, but of learning and self-improvement. In its open-endedness, the dissertation also signals that this pedagogical project is unfinished, yet amenable to completion. It imagines a complete, yet on-going body of work that invites further experimentation, innovation and self-reflection in university teaching." @default.
