ABSTRACT

The contribution of scholarship to practice is an on-going concern of the AL/HRD community. This paper explores how one influential discourse may shape AL/HRD’s understanding of that contribution. In 2020 the UK Government implemented the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) to gather data on English Universities’ knowledge exchange activities. Using Gee’s tools of enquiry and building tasks we undertook discourse analysis of two key KEF texts to explore its likely impact on the AL/HRD community’s understanding. We compare the discourses used in those texts with three AL/HRD orders of discourse identified in existing literature to explore which if any are reinforced by the KEF discourses, and the potential material consequences this may have for AL/HRD understandings and practice. We find evidence of performance/performance discourses but no evidence of learning/emancipatory and critical discourses in the first text, but some limited elements of learning/emancipatory and critical discourses in the second. In contrast to models of inter-organisational learning, analysis of other texts referred to in this second source suggests that this change did not arise from the documented formal processes but micro-level informal interactions. We suggest this gives individual AL/HRD community members the space to develop alternative, non-performance discourses and practices of knowledge exchange.

实践话语:考察 KEF 及其对 AL/HRD 社区的影响

摘要

奖学金对实践的贡献是 AL/HRD 社区持续关注的问题。本文探讨了一个有影响力的话语如何影响 AL/HRD 对这一贡献的理解。2020 年,英国政府实施了知识交流框架 (KEF),以收集有关英语大学知识交流活动的数据。使用 Gee 的探究工具和构建任务,我们对两个关键的 KEF 文本进行了话语分析,以探索其对 AL/HRD 社区理解的可能影响。我们将这些文本中使用的话语与现有文献中确定的三种 AL/HRD 话语顺序进行比较,以探索 KEF 话语强化了哪些话语顺序,以及这可能对 AL/HRD 理解和实践产生的潜在物质后果。我们在第一个文本中找到了表现/表现话语的证据,但没有发现学习/解放性和批判性话语的证据,但在第二个文本中发现了学习/解放性和批判性话语的一些有限元素。与组织间学习模型相反,对第二个来源中提到的其他文本的分析表明,这种变化不是由记录的正式过程引起的,而是来自微观层面的非正式互动。我们建议这为个人 AL/HRD 社区成员提供空间来开发替代的、非绩效的话语和知识交流实践。对第二个来源中提到的其他文本的分析表明,这种变化不是由记录在案的正式过程引起的,而是来自微观层面的非正式互动。我们建议这为个人 AL/HRD 社区成员提供空间来开发替代的、非绩效的话语和知识交流实践。对第二个来源中提到的其他文本的分析表明,这种变化不是由记录在案的正式过程引起的,而是来自微观层面的非正式互动。我们建议这为个人 AL/HRD 社区成员提供空间来开发替代的、非绩效的话语和知识交流实践。
