Layers of Learning: Working Toward Mediated Praxis by Positioning Researchers, Practitioners, and Students as Learners

Mon, April 11, 7:45 to 9:45am, Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 209 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session foregrounds the design of learning ecologies that work to foster mediated praxis, which is the intentional organization to foster the unification theory and practice We argue that a focus on layers of learning—in which researchers, practitioners and students are positioned as learners—will aid in a deeper understanding of design for praxis. Through collaboration across multiple sites, we empirically document and further theorize layers of learning as a way to: 1) gain insight into individual and collective learning processes; 2) complicate and better support movement across often dichotomized roles of researcher, practitioner and student; and 3) more deeply understand how to design for learning and instruction across formal and informal settings.
