Reflekzonen – the collaborative development of RPL in innovative learning spaces

Collaborative processes framed through the exploration of reflective practice-based learning’s theoretical basis and pedagogical innovation theory are
presented to exemplify how our interdisciplinary project team has approached
the development of reflective practice-based learning in physical learning spaces. The project on which the poster is based seeks to manifest RPL physically to
activate experience, thinking, and action in a student-initiated learning space.
The project will develop RPL in the space “Reflekzonen”, which is a part of the
UCN Innovation House.
Based on divergent educational culture and practice, understood as the
many disciplines that UCN educates for, and reflective practice-based learning as a potentially convergent meeting point in these educational cultures and
practices, the poster is about how we in the interdisciplinary project team have
methodically worked to move from divergent professional starting points for a
more convergent understanding of educational development in physical spaces
based on RPL and innovation.
Specifically, the poster outlines the work processes that we in the interdisciplinary project team have gone through in developing RPL in the physical
learning space. It is an emergent process, where we have used the social innovation theory; Theory U by Otto Scharmer as a process framework for collaboration.
The poster aims to exemplify methodological approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration, where reflective practice-based learning and pedagogical
innovation enrich the collaboration process. The poster seeks to convey how
we have worked with RPL and innovation through processes that are based on
elements from “Experience, thinking, and action” and Theory U.
