Code of Practice for Inclusive Learning and Teaching
Code of Practice for Inclusive Learning and Teaching
Helen Clarke (School of Design) and Paul Wilson (School of Design)
Project overview
We will co-produce a Code of Practice for Inclusive Learning and Teaching with learners in the School of Design which captures and communicates diverse experiences and perspectives, and provides a method through which the policy is developed going forward.
We will make use of innovative methods of creative participation and storytelling, to transform the CoP into visual object/s (film, animation, poster, infographic or other). We aim to develop a policy which genuinely reflects the needs of its community of users and provides a benchmark for inclusion that will be understood and applied by all in the school, and can be adapted as a methodology in other schools and universities.
The research approach
Paragogy is a learning approach which fosters knowledge from a network’s interactions, and considers the shared context of peer-learning as being ‘in motion’, with a potential for continuous transformation - confronting and acknowledging difference, and recognising the equality in a shared point of departure. It highlights the value in bringing together a complex and entangled range of learners whose experiences and perspectives instigate collective ‘worldbuilding’.
Scholarship on boundary object completes our theoretical framework. These objects work within and across communities of practice (such as the School and University), generating multiple meanings and a consensus for their use in their context.
