Promoting Knowledge Work Practices in Education
Start date: Jan 1, 2014,

The KNORK project builds on a need for easily applicable pedagogical approaches supporting novel knowledge work and digital competencies. The project will develop and test pedagogical methods, supportive ICT tools and teacher training models to improve these competencies and practices in secondary and higher education applying the "trialogical" learning approach that defines principles for sophisticated collaborative knowledge creation practices. Especially rich use of technology and cross-fertilization practices between educational levels as well as educational institutions and work life organizations are promoted. The pedagogical models and supportive technologies will be tested and refined in four countries across Europe (Bulgaria, Finland, Italy, and Sweden). All development work in the project will be done in collaboration between researchers, teachers and other experts through workshops, field-testing and co-design activities. The results will be disseminated throughout the project lifetime both locally within the participating institutions, on a national level with educational policy makers and authorities, and internationally through virtual forums and social media channels. As outcomes, the project will produce 1) new teaching methods and inter-institutional collaboration practices for the participating institutions; 2) pedagogical examples, materials and ICT tools to be disseminated and re-used widely by educators in secondary and tertiary education in Europe; 3) as well as guidelines and scientific reports for policy makers and educational authorities to adopt the project outcomes to ensure the sustainability of new pedagogical practices among teachers, educational institutions and communal authorities. An online teacher training package and pedagogical support material will be made available to promote the re-use of the project outcomes among educators, researchers and other stakeholders to advance knowledge work and digital competencies in educational settings.
