Pedagogy of Post-Compulsory Education

Higher Education and Innovation

An EC DG EAC funded project with LSE Associates and Research voor Belied (Mike Osborne with PASCAL associates including Professors Chris Duke and Dr Fumi Kitagawa)

The overall aim of the study will be to contribute to the better understanding of recent developments affecting higher education and offer evidence on how innovation can support higher education in times of change.  Specific objectives are identified as follows:

  • to analyse existing and identify emerging challenges affecting higher education;
  • to demonstrate the role of innovation in higher education institutions in addressing (these) challenges;
  • to develop recommendations for an innovation framework for higher education.

The Terms of Reference also require:

  • coverage of  a wide international landscape with the focus equally placed on the developments in the EU, North-America and Asia-Pacific while other regions can be also considered;
  • target groups to include various participants involved in higher education: higher
  • education institutions, entrepreneurs, governments, companies and businesses of all types, public bodies, charities and any other relevant stakeholder involved.

Four specific areas of innovation and these will provide the main focus of the study:

  • Technology as a disruptive enabler of new education models
  • New distribution channels and new providers of knowledge and education
  • Global demand for education and internationalisation
  • Bottlenecks to innovation

CR&DALL Contributions to the School of Education, College of Social Sciences and the University

CR&DALL leads on the School of Education’s theme of Adult Learning and Youth Transitions, and makes major contributions to the themes of Urban and Place-based Learning, and Migration and Refugee Education. A significant focus in all of its work is Sustainable Development and International Development in line with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A summary of these contributions, key projects and publications are found with the section Contributions to School of Education Themes, below. From its place within the School, the Centre also makes a significant contribution to the Inter-Disciplinary Research Themes of the College of Social Sciences. In particular the Centre’s work elides with the following themes: Sustainability; Digital Society and Economy; Addressing Inequalities; and Challenges in Changing Cities. Further details can be found in the section on Contributions to College of Social Sciences below. We also play an important part in work across the university; for example, through the work of Mia Perry through within the Sustainable Futures for Africa Network and the Centre for Sustainable Futures. CR&DALL members are also major contributors to the Glasgow Centre for International Development and CR&DALL’s work will inform and be informed by the newly established Advanced Research Centre (ARC) of the university, most particularly within the theme of international development, and in the pursuit of community engagement, working closely with the CIVIS network of European universities in creating an 'Open Lab'.

We will continue to work around these themes locally and globally in territories across the world. For example, we contributed directly to COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021 through the work of Ria Dunkley in the Dynamic Coast project, and through our contributions to the College of Social Sciences COP26 programme. In 2023 when the new OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competences (PIAAC) dataset is launched, we will take a leading role in analysing it.

CR&DALL is the host of the PASCAL Observatory on place, social capital and learning in Europe, and leads its work on learning cities.

 

Contributions to School of Education Themes

 

Adult Learning and Youth Transitions

Overall Aim: To assess the impact of learning opportunity in formal, non-formal and informal settings on the life courses of both young and older adults, including those who are most vulnerable in labour markets and at risk of social exclusion. This includes a focus on a range of groups excluded from, or marginalised/disadvantaged within, education by virtue of disability, gender, geography, incarceration, race and ethnicity, sexuality, religion, refugee/asylum seeker status, and socio-economic status, and a recognition of intersectionality.

Examples of our projects include the European Commission H2020 funded, YOUNG_ADULLLT - Policies Supporting Young Adults in their Lifecourse. It has contributed to developing new knowledge about the impact of LLL policies, better understanding of structural relationships and the functional match between education/training and the labour market, and identification of successful sustainable institutional solutions to mismatches. Another EC-funded project, Labour Market Efficiency of Tertiary Adult Education (LETAE), has assessed the role of lifelong learning for mid-career professional development in seven European countries. A major Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) project funded by the ESRC focuses on the role of dual apprenticeships in India and Mexico. Another EC-funded project, 'Employability in programme development (EPD): Establishing a labour market to higher education feedback loop drawing on local labour market intelligence', considers how labour market intelligence can be used to facilitate transitions from HE to the labour market.

Urban and Place-based Learning

Overall Aim: To better understand the relationship between place and educational disadvantage locally in the Glasgow City Region, and also in other regions in the world, in particular in the global south. We seek to identify the place-based drivers of disadvantage (e.g. access to health and social services and educational opportunities, quality of transport systems, and of the built and the natural environment) as well as lifelong success, and to inform policy options for narrowing the gap in educational attainment experienced by young people and adults from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our distinctiveness  in this area is based on:

  • the use of novel and sophisticated quantitative methods, for example through our work within the ESRC funded Urban Big Data Centre;
  • taking an interdisciplinary approach working with other leading academics within the College of Science and Engineering, the School of Social and Political Sciences and the Institute of Health and Well-being, specialising in engineering, environmental sciences, health, housing and transport;
  • addressing global challenges. We recognise in this work that combating inequality within and among countries, preserving the planet, creating inclusive and sustainable economic growth, and fostering social inclusion are mutually interdependent, and are underpinned by learning.

Our work, through a number of projects supported within Global Challenges Research Fund, and funded by AHRC, the British Academy, ESRC, EPSRC and MRC builds on these themes. This includes, the ESRC funded, Centre for Sustainable, Learning Cities and Neighbourhoods, and a British Academy-funded project on the contribution of HEI systems to regional development (SUEUAA). Transforming Education for Sustainable Futures addresses the role of education in climate action, decent work and sustainable cities.

Many of our research projects in this area involve extensive collaboration beyond the social sciences. This includes working with engineers, environmental scientists, health scientists and the NGO sector in implementing technological, environmental and health initiatives through community engagement using arts-based and public pedagogies. This work covers diverse fields including palliative care in Bangladesh, geo-thermal engineering in Ethiopia, and environmental initiatives in Uganda, Botswana and Nigeria. Our research also focuses on local issues, notably within the project GALLANT: Glasgow as a Living Lab Accelerating Novel Transformation, a major NERC-funded partnership between the University of Glasgow and Glasgow City Council which uses Glasgow as a living lab to trial new sustainable solutions throughout the city. CR&DALL core member, Ria Dunkley, leads the community collaboration work of GALLANT. Another major project in Scotland, Waste Stories, funded by the Leverhulme Foundation and led by Anna Wilson, seeks to use the affective power of story-making to try to change people's relationships with waste, and the resources that end up in the waste stream.

Migration and Refugee Education

Overall Aim: To conduct research that specifically focuses on learning and community cohesion in the context of migration (in particular forced migration), refugee-status. Our research in this area complements the work of the UNESCO Chair in Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts, which is hosted elsewhere in the School. We focus also in this theme on research concerning ethnic minority groups and indigenous peoples.

Examples of our work include the AHRC/ESRC-funded GCRF Forced Displacement project, Building Futures: Aspirations of Syrian Youth Refugees and Host Population Responses in Lebanon, Greece and the UK, also links to our concern with skills development and focussing on displaced Syrians in the Lebanon, Greece and the UK.

We have also led a British Academy funded project concerned with migrating medical professional knowledge and an ESRC funded project concerned with identity, citizenship and belonging among settled Eastern European migrant children in the UK.

A very recently funded project, Local, place-based, and community-driven approaches to peacebuilding, supported under the British Academy/Leverhulme Small Research Grant programme, works with marginalised and vulnerable populations in conflict, post-conflict, and Indigenous areas.

Contributions to the College of Social Sciences

CR&DALL also seeks to contribute significantly to and inform the newly emerging College of Social Sciences Inter-disciplinary research clusters: Sustainability; Digital Society and Economy; Addressing Inequalities; and Challenges in Changing Cities. Mia Perry, Lavinia Hirsu and Srabani Maitra are part of the leadership teams of the first three of these clusters.

The specific contributions that CR&DALL will seek to make within these clusters are summarised below:

Sustainability

  • International Development related Research in socio-ecological sustainability
  • Public engagement in sustainability and eco-pedagogy 
  • Social determinants of health and sustainability 
  • The role of learning in the development of sustainable places: eco-cities, carbon-neutrality, transition towns, clean oceans
  • Skills development for the green and blue economies: re-skilling and re-training for clean growth (de-growth).
  • Inter-disciplinary translational research with communities in the adoption of sustainable practices

Digital Society and Economy

  • The impact of digital technologies on teaching and learning through the life course
  • Skills and the 4th Industrial Revolution, and impacts on formal and informal economies: the future of work
  • Wider civic and societal implications of digitalisation: healthy ageing and well-being
  • Digital literacy in technology-rich environments
  • Financial literacy, sustainable personal finance, and economic outcomes
  • Smart Cities and lifelong learning
  • The implications of automation and robotics on lifelong learning
  • Learning for entrepreneurship and innovation

Addressing Inequalities

  • The drivers of inequality, deprivation and marginalisation: with a particular focus on the role of adult education as it relates to race and ethnicity, social-economic class, disability, gender, age and migrant/refugee status
  • Equitable access to, and experience within, post-compulsory education for socially excluded, disadvantaged or marginalised groups
  • Issues of equity and social justice in relation to the working lives of academics and adult educators
  • The learning lifecycle: access, retention, short, medium and long-term outcomes of technical and vocational, and higher education
  • Place-based inequalities within the UK, and within Low-Medium Income Countries (LMICs)
  • Multi-literacies (traditional as well as digital, financial, cultural, environmental) and their relationships to educational opportunity
  • The relationship between education, health and inequality
  • Communities, non-formal and informal learning and social capital – the role of cultural assets, heritage and faith/spirituality in learning
  • Globalisation and precarious work

Challenges in Changing Cities

  • The contribution of formal and non-formal educational assets to balanced urban and regional development
  • The development of learning cities
  • The interplay between health and education in developing sustainable neighbourhoods
  • The role of big data in urban settings
  • Migration, Refugees and later-life learning
