ED50A4: DEVELOPING A THEORY OF PRACTICE 2 (2015-2016)

Building on the first iteration of the personal Theory of Practice articulated as part of the portfolio submitted as part of the previous course Developing a Theory of Practice 1, participants will engage in a more in-depth reading, reflection and sharing of theoretical drivers which determine the individual participants’ conceptualisation of a Theory of Practice. Further consideration of identification and sharing of participants’ perceptions of the drivers of effective practice within their professional context. Further reflection and problematisation of these issues and an articulation of these issues through visual mapping exercises. Further identification of key areas of personal practice as a focus for further enquiry. Further critical reading of underlying theories on order to define a vision for future practice. Consideration of different modes of evidence gathering to support an articulation of this subsequent iteration of a personal conceptualisation of a Theory of Practice. Development of a professional tool that will support their continued professional development beyond the initial period of study as the two courses create a sequential tool for professional development which builds on deepening practice though engaging with theoretical principles i.e. the articulation by professionals of their personal Theory of Practice.

Under normal circumstances participants would be expected to have access to professional practice.
