New article: How to change and what to change? – Exploring university teachers’ conceptions of adaptive expertise in teaching
Zsófia Frányó and Helga Dorner published a new research article in the highly ranked journal of Innovations in Education and Teaching International, named How to change and what to change? – Exploring university teachers’ conceptions of adaptive expertise in teaching.
The researchers studied how a Central European university faculty in business and related fields perceive adaptivity and their adaptive expertise. The research project focused on how university teachers conceive of adaptability in their teaching, their qualitatively different conceptions of adaptive expertise, and their approaches to adaptability in their teaching. Frányó and Dörner conducted semi-structured interviews with 31 participants, then analysed using phenomenography.
As a result, the researchers were able to differentiate between three qualitatively different conceptions of adaptive expertise, namely (1) Openness, (2) Abilities and (3) Actions – Attention and Reflections.
The researchers distinguished different hierarchical levels within each aspect as well.
