Proceedings for the European Conference on Reflective Practice-based Learning 2023: Aalborg, November 20th-22nd 2023

This volume presents the contributions accepted for the Second European Conference on Reflective Practice-based Learning (RPL), November 2023. ECRPL is a network for educators, researchers, and practitioners to join in further explorations of current practices of RPL in higher education and professional practices. The educational landscape of higher education is continuously challenged. New technologies, especially artificial intelligence large language models, are challenging teaching, learning and assessment procedures. Emerging technologies are continuously developed and implemented in private and public companies and there is an ongoing change of competencies relevant to the labour market. These tendencies call for educating more reflective resilient professionals with agency, that can make in situ professional judgments and actions. Professionals who can meet changes with an ethical, analytical, critical, and reflective approach coupled with authentic situations.
The overall themes of ECRPL 2023 include:Connecting theory and practice in education, Integration of professional practices in teaching and learning activities, Technologies in education and professional practice, The role of reflection in professional practices and how to educate towards this.
