ARC Discovery Project

Professional learning for knowledgeable action and innovation: The development of epistemic fluency in higher education

This project is funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery grant

Prof Peter Goodyear, Dr Lina Markauskaite

The ability to work effectively with complex knowledge, as a member of a multidisciplinary team, is essential for many areas of professional practice and in other areas of graduate work. Little is known about the abilities that allow individuals, teams and professional communities to work effectively with complex knowledge. The project will therefore help understand some key aspects of innovation and of knowledge-intensive work. This has implications for individual employability, the competitiveness of Australian firms in a global economy and the ability of Australian organizations to innovate and improve, using the best available evidence. Project outcomes will be able to inform the enhancement of professional education.
