Page history last edited by Norman Jackson 14 years, 8 months ago

SCEPTrE Seminar Thursday July 9th 2009  12.30-13.45

 

‘Capability in the Lifespace’ in the 21st Century 

Professor Len Cairns, Associate Dean Development, Faculty of Education, Monash University, Australia

Professor John Stephenson,Emeritus Professor, Professor of Learner Managed Learning in the School of Lifelong Learning and Education at Middlesex University

 

This session is draws on the presenters’ extensive scholarly and practical engagements with the concept and development of personal and organisational capability and the relationship between the two. We will argue that learning, work and other aspects of the human existence and condition take place in what can be termed the space of life or the life-space. We see this holistic idea as a necessary counter to the prevalent divisions society has entrenched in the past such as home-work; school-home; work-leisure; family-friends; work-family.

 

Professor Cairns has been an active academic in Australian Universities since 1971. He has lectured in the areas of Teacher Education at the University of Sydney and Monash University and designed and taught courses in the Master of Education at both Universities. Len has also worked as a Visiting Professor and Visiting Scholar at International Universities in the United Kingdom, USA and India. He has been the chair of the Workplace Learning Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association and presents regularly at the European Educational Research Association Conference, the British Educational Research Association Conference and the Researching Work and Learning biennial Conferences.

 

Current research and teaching activities include: Capability, especially in organisations and individuals, Leadership and Management, Organisational Change and Development, International Education, with reference to development of Global Capability, Workplace Learning Learner-Managed Learning and  Self-Efficacy.

 

Len has recently completed the book Capable Workplace Learning, (SENSE Publishers) with Professor John Stephenson of Middlesex University. He co-ordinates and designed the course Leading for Student Learning  (Victorian DEECD and AGQPT) and teaches in other Leadership Courses including the Master of School Leadership, Human Leadership and Mentoring Matters.
