Deadline approaching: Cove Park Bernat Klein Fellowships Cove Park are launching a new Fellowship programme for textile designers and textile artists in partnership with the Bernat Klein Foundation and Konstfack University of the Arts, Craft, and Design, Stockholm. In 2025, two Fellowships will be awarded to established textile designers/textile artists based in Scotland and in Sweden. The Fellowships are fully funded and include residencies, the opportunity for supported research including access to the national Bernat Klein archive collections in Scotland, and the support required for the development of new work. Deadline: 22 November More information: https://lnkd.in/e8NY_DPj

At a time when educators, librarians, researchers, and policymakers are very interested in the effects of recreational reading on children, it is reasonable to question whether pre-service teachers and other literature mediators are enthusiastic readers themselves. As a result, it is important to reflect on how children’s literature programs at the university level can develop positive attitudes towards reading so that students maintain and share this intrinsic motivation throughout their lives. The aim of this conference is to create a space for discussion and collaboration on teaching children’s literature and fostering a love of reading in university settings. This is an opportunity to share approaches, tools, and solutions for addressing these challenges. More information 👉 https://lnkd.in/dwQXQBxD #FosteringDialogueUIC #DrivingResearchForward

Proud to be part of it since 2011.

In the field of Design, Politecnico maintains its position among the top 10 universities in the world, ranking 7th. #design #fooddesign #productdesign #industrialdesign #interiordesign

From the introduction of the 'Worldview Dimension' which I wrote for Gaia Education 's online course based on the 4D Whole Systems Design framework: "For the most part these crises we humans have brought upon ourselves over the course of many centuries through our attitudes towards each other and towards Nature, and through the concepts we have developed regarding who we are and the very purpose of our being here — in other words, our worldview. A worldview is a cultural phenomenon. It can and does change over time and worldviews can differ substantially across and even within cultures. But at its most basic level it is determined to a great degree by asking the most profound questions: Who are we? Where do we come from? What is our purpose? Where are we going? All of these questions are fundamental to how we individually and collectively make meaning. As such they are questions asked by all spiritual traditions and since the very beginning of our species. Even the first cave paintings suggest that as soon as we were human, we started to ask these kind of questions. ..." https://lnkd.in/dwS9nRB See also info on the upcoming 4D Regenerative Design Literacy learning journey which starts in November and in which I will take your through that framework and how to apply it to bioregional regeneration. https://lnkd.in/dJs9-GjX

Design thinking in academic research is a dynamic, iterative approach that centres on human experience and creativity to address complex research problems. Integrating design thinking into academic research can produce more creative, user-centred, and impactful outcomes, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This method fosters a collaborative and adaptive research environment, encouraging continuous learning and innovation. #WednesdayWords #DesignThinking #ResearchImpact #AcademicInnovation #KnowledgeExchange #AcademicImpact #RealWorldApplication

We hope that even more researchers, educators, students, and other interested individuals will follow and appreciate the benefits of Open Science. Thanks to our 2,222 followers who believe in an open and fair future for science! 👏 We are proud of this milestone. #OpenScience #OpenAccess #KnowledgeForAll #books #dissertations #journals NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) Openjournals Radboud University Press Faculteit der Letteren / Faculty of Arts Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen Faculteit der Rechtsgeleerdheid Radboud Faculty of Science Nijmegen School of Management / Faculteit der Managementwetenschappen Radboudumc Faculteit der Filosofie, Theologie en Religiewetenschappen Proefschrift-AIO PON: PhD Organisation Nijmegen Leiden University Press Maastricht University Library TU Delft | OPEN Publishing

Just finished reading "Student Life Experience by Service Design" by Ivo De Wit & Koenraad Keignaert. It is a summary of abstracts of projects on the field by students of Antwerp University. It just shows how much the field I graduated in in the 1980's has evolved since. First parts are the abstracts followed by students product design concepts, and an interesting last chapter that put the questions I had after reading to projects to rest. Very insightful. Recommended reading for anyone involved in the organization of higher education to get a better understanding of students' needs. #Studentlifeexperiencebyservicedesign, #Ivodewit, #koenkeignaert, #pruductdevelopment

I am happy to share the publication of my second research paper of my PhD: ‘The complexity of team teaching models: The relationship with collaboration and shared responsibility’, which is now available in ‘Educational Studies’. You can access the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eQS2GUVr. In this paper, we investigated how teachers’ self-reported collaboration and shared responsibility differ across team teaching models. These models represent the ways in which team teaching is established in the classroom. It is assumed that some models involve more collaboration and shared responsibility than others. However, empirical evidence regarding the extent of teachers’ collaboration and shared responsibility per model is currently lacking. Our previously developed CSTT scale (https://lnkd.in/e53syJ97) was administered among 555 team teachers to capture the levels of collaboration and shared responsibility experienced by teachers. The results indicate that the relationship between collaboration and shared responsibility on the one hand and the different models on the other hand is much more complex than theoretical definitions suggest. 50 free eprints are available via this link: https://lnkd.in/ew7b8gvP. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am grateful for the collaboration with Hanne Tack, Benedicte Vanblaere, Mathea Simons, and Ruben Vanderlinde.
