  1. Integrating learning & work Clive Chappell & Geof Hawke OVAL Research Faculty of Education University of Technology Sydney

  2. ConsortiumResearch Program • “Supporting VET providers in building • capability for the future” • 2-year research program funded by DEST • Consortium partners -CREEW-UniSA • OVAL-UTS, CURVE-CIT

  3. 9 Dissemination forums 8 Workforce development 2 Career pathways 7 Leadership 3 Teaching, learning & assessment 6 HR practices 4 Cultures & structures 5 Learning through work ConsortiumResearch Program 1 Consultations; focus groups

  4. ResearchQuestions • How and in what ways can L&D practices of VET providers be organised to better support learning at work? • What are the major enablers and constraints to learning through working and what strategies and models can organisations deploy to encourage productive learning at work?

  5. Background • Organisations - seek competitive advantage • Knowledge and skills of employees • From training solutions to • learning solutions

  6. Training to learning • Problems of transfer • Flattened organisational structures • Financial & time constraints • Commercial pressures • Changing nature of work • Non-standard work • Weakening of employee-employer relationships • Rapid technological change, knowledge work • Changing skills -skill shortages

  7. Integrating learning & work • VET, HRD & L&D practices -traditionally tied to assumptions underpinning learning in formal education (OECD, Hager, Chappell, Cullen, Felsted) • Limits of traditional educational practices(Boud, Chappell, Bernstein) • Traditional separation of learning & work

  8. Integrating learning & work Our Interest in this research is to understand the ways in which workplaces can provide an environment in which learning is a natural and automatic outcome of experiencing work –without direct educational interventions.

  9. Bridging the gap-research

  10. Bridging the gap-synthesis

  11. The next step • Application of research Provider Learning Environment profile (PLE) • Around 40 item questionnaire - to be used by L&D departments to all employees • Results entered into a 4-quadrant map

  12. Bridging the gap-research survey examples The RTO provides me with ready access to the knowledge/information I need to do my job I regularly meet with colleagues in other organisations I have considerable responsibility and autonomy in my work in the RTO I am given sufficient feedback on my work by RTO managers My work involves me in a wide range of RTO activities The RTO clearly communicates its mission/purpose to staff
