Unravelling self-regulated professional learning in contemporary challenging work environments.
Abstract
In contemporary work environments, continuous learning and development is of major importance for ongoing improvement of performance and employability. Triggered by challenges of work, professionals need to set goals, choose and implement appropriate strategies, and monitor and evaluate their learning process. That is, self-regulation of professional learning (SRpL) is cruscial. Existing research showed that there is a lack of a coherent picture on how professionals self-regulate their learning integrated with work in challenging environments. A clear conceptualisation of SRpL is lacking. Together with the growing interest in research on workplace learning, international research on SRpL gained attention in the last two decades. Notwithstanding this growing attention and the awareness of the importance of SRpL, research on SRpL as an actual process highly integrated with work is still in its infancy. Exemplary for a challenging work environment is the hospital. First exploratory steps have been made to investigate SRpL of medical specialists aiming to contribute to the conceptual clarity and understanding of SRpL and its measurement. First results indicate to elaborate the existing conceptual models of self-regulated learning. This research project strives to complement and build on these first insights and aims to validate the conceptual groundings of SRpL as an unfolding process composed by the engagement in self-regulatory strategies. With this project, we also aim to further validate the methodological approach used. Doing so, this project can move the field on SRpL and professional learning forward and is necessary to initiate consecutive fundamental, challenging and innovative research. The rich data regarding SRpL of eight medical specialists that have already been collected and transcribed will be analysed to answer the research questions and meet the aims of the project. This research aligns with one of the key areas of interest – Professional Learning- of the research group EduBRon, Faculty of Social Sciences, Department of Training and Education Sciences. Also, this research aligns with the research of the Special Interest Group (SIG14) 'Learning and Professional Development' of the European Association for Research on Learning and Instruction (EARLI). The results of this project will be presented at the EARLI/SIG14 conference where new international collaborations in the field of SRpL can be initiated. Further, the results of this project will lead to submissions for publications, as will they inform the development of new research project proposals.Researcher(s)

The Lio-platform as a means to flexible, differentiated and self-regulated learning of in-service teacher-students: strenghtening teacher education!
Abstract
This project strenghtnens teacher education by developing, implementing and evaluation an online platform that supports the learning, evaluatiing, and knowledg-sharing of in-service teacher-students, and their teacher-educators from the school they work in, and the college or university they study at. The oevrall aim of the project is to support and foster self-regulated learning of in-service teacher-students, as well as to optimize the guidance the in-service teacher-students receive from the school they work is and the university or college they study at.Researcher(s)
