The travel of ideas: The dual structure of mobilized knowledge in the context of Professional Learning Networks

• In Event: Knowledge Mobilization in Professional Learning Networks

Abstract

In the context of professional learning networks (PLN), there are many studies which address knowledge mobilization. The majority of these focus on how research is mobilized by various actors. This paper explores the concepts of knowledge mobilization both on an individual and an organizational level and discusses the role of both PLN participants and PLNs as catalysts for institutional change. To illustrate this, a model was developed, which draws on a concept that depicts the mobilization processes at the various levels.
