“ moments of practice to convey as

sense of elasticity and fluidity, and to

locate each within an constellation of

other moments

-Joëlle Fanghanel

“ academic roles are not seen as scripted;

they are constructed and inhabited

through navigating the tensions betweens

between structures, the communities in

which practice takes place and

academics’ own positions towards

structures”

“ One cannot talk about education psychology

without talking about pigeons. One cannot

talk about education technology without

talking about education psychology. One

cannot talk about education technology

without talking about pigeons.

“Comparable results have been obtained with pigeons,

rats, dogs, monkeys, human children… and psychotic

subjects. In spite of great phylogenetic differences, all

these organisms show amazingly similar properties of the

learning process. It should be emphasized that this has

been achieved by analyzing the effects of reinforcement

and by designing techniques that manipulate

reinforcement with considerable precision. Only in this

way can the behaviour of the individual be brought under

such precise control.

-F.B Skinner

➤ prepare students for lifelong, self-regulated,

cooperative and work-based learning;

➤ foster high quality student learning

➤ teaching methods change in response to students’

increasing metacognitive and self-regulatory skills

➤ complexity of the problems dealt with increases

gradually and systematically.

(Vermut, Student Learning and University Teaching 2007)

“ Emergence is the way that complex systems or

structures arise out of a multiplicity of simple

interactions. Ballet is a great example of this in

itself, with a series of simple physical structures

and rules (technique) combining into a complex

dancing (choreography) in the individual.

-Crystal Pite, Scottish Ballet, Autumn Season Programme, 2016
