The dynamic interdependences between pedagogical competence programs, leadership, institutional culture, and HR regulations
In the Nordic countries, formal pedagogical competence programs for newly employed faculty members have become the norm. In this work, we focus on a new pedagogical competence program at NTNU and draw upon survey data from the first 3 rounds with the new program. We explore in what ways boundary conditions effect how participants perceive the relevance of the program, as well as how it might influence their ability to learn and adjust their own teaching practices. Grounded in the empirical findings and the literature, we will discuss the dynamic interdependences between pedagogical competence programs, leadership, institutional culture, and HR regulations. Arguing that research-based programs alone are not enough and that there are important factors that shape participants experiences in these programs that lie outside the influence of many university pedagogy research units.

Collaborative knotworking: Transforming clinical teaching practice through faculty development
Läs presentationen som powerpoint.
Faculty development is used widely all over the world to improve clinical teaching practices in health professions education, yet we lack an understanding for how such development initiatives contributes with change in practice. In this study, we used activity theory to explore how clinical educators integrated educational innovations, developed within a faculty development programme, into their clinical workplaces. The study shows the complexities of educational change in practice, and suggest that these processes is a result of collaborative knotworking between faculty development participants and workplace staff. This knotworking includes negotiating a mandate for change, reconceptualising the innovation in response to workplace reactions, and reconciliation as temporary equilibria between the systems. As a result of this work, the faculty development output, in this case the innovation, and the workplace practices are transformed, indicating the important influence of the workplace context on faculty development outcomes.
