  1. PLAR 2.0 Ralf St.Clair and Kathy Maclachlan University of Glasgow

  2. Background • Reflects commitment of Learning Connections to both research and professional development • Explicitly designed to build on PLAR 1.0 • Topic is Individual Learning Plans

  3. Taking PLAR 1.0 into account • No moodle! • 10 weeks (x 1/2 day) timetable • Two stage recruitment involving managers • Participants organised in clusters • One key researcher per cluster • No accreditation

  4. Participants • Seven clusters, ranging in size from one to four participants • Local authority and voluntary sector included • Started with 22; now nearly at the end have 14-15

  5. Topics for the research • Developing group ILPs • Assessing learner reactions to computerised wheel • Collecting and comparing ILP paperwork across Scotland • ILPs for adults with learning difficulties • Supported training for tutors • Is an ILP necessary in a college? • Developing a joint ALN/CLD process

  6. Early findings • Highly intense short duration model is effective • Clusters work well-- but need at least one enthusiast • Research experience was limited • Research training is limited • Can still get a very useful outcome • Diversity of concepts of ILP

  7. Implications • PLAR does work for professional development and for knowledge generation • Education vs. expertise needs careful balance (taster vs. training) • Good practice model of ILPS would be very helpful • Intensity and duration may lie between the two models • PLAR 3.0????
