实践者学者社群
实践学者社区(PSC)是国际服务学习与社区参与研究协会(IARSLCE)旗下的一项顶尖教育发展项目。 鉴于众多社区参与专业人士(CEPs)兼具实践者与学者双重身份,且许多负责社区参与课程与项目建设的教师及专业人员常处于"第三空间"——即理论与实践、研究与管理、学术探索与项目实施之间的过渡地带,PSC项目应运而生,旨在支持身处此类第三空间的专业人士开展学术研究。 培养实践者-学者能力是IARSLCE的重要使命,与本组织致力于社区参与相关研究与学术发展的承诺高度契合。
目标:本IARSLCE项目的目标是提升成员能力,以实现以下两点:1)建立实践者-学者身份认同;2)开发聚焦服务学习与社区参与(SLCE)的学术项目,从而支持IARSLCE推动SLCE研究与学术领域发展的使命。
项目概述:实践者-学者社区为服务学习与社区参与领域的工作者提供四(4)个模块的异步学习机会,旨在帮助学员构建实践者-学者身份认同并提升专业能力。
学习成果
完成本课程后,学员将能够:
在实践者-学者框架内阐明其专业身份及跨文化实践背景;
制定学术项目计划,包括:a) 基于实践探究衍生出的研究问题;b) 与实践相关的学术项目方法论;c) 学术传播的实施行动方案。
通过开发顶点项目,在专业背景下展示实践与学术方法的证据。
交付物
参与实践者-学者社区的成员将通过此次教育发展机会,形成清晰的实践者-学者叙事,并制定与特定研究领域相关的学术项目计划。
路线图
参与者将在一周(7天)内完成不同异步模块的任务和作业,随后在第二周对同组成员的工作提供反馈,之后再进入下一个模块。
模块1:以实践者-学者身份自居
模块2:培养学术研究方法
模块3:学术项目反馈——在复杂社区参与工作的背景下完善研究问题并建立人脉网络
模块4:顶点项目:实践者-学者型专业人才
We are excited to offer our Practitioner-Scholar Community experience again in early 2027. The applications will be released in January, with the cohort beginning in mid-February. While we will distribute the application broadly, we would like to invite people who anticipate applying to fill out our interest form so we can reach out with priority information and track capacity as we will be offering only 40 spots for this upcoming cohort. Please contact psc@iarslce.org with any questions.
客户评价
该项目赋予我新的语言来定义自我,从而在服务学习与社区教育(SLCE)领域作为实践者和研究者建立起自信。此外,它让我有机会倾听他人的故事,使我不再感到"孤立无援"——毕竟服务学习研究属于小众领域,常遭人误解。置身于一群"懂我所言"的同行之中,他们既通晓SLCE的语言,又理解相关种种困境,这种体验令人倍感力量。 ”
实践者学者社群对我个人与职业发展产生了深远影响。通过深入探讨与经验分享,我得以向背景多元、视角各异的同行学习,从而拓展了对该领域的认知。更重要的是,这个社群营造了支持性环境,使我得以确立作为社区参与型学者的身份认同,并为学术项目构建了理论框架。 通过积极参与社区项目、将理论概念应用于现实挑战并获得建设性反馈,我不仅精进专业技能,更在为社区参与学习(CEL)与战略传播领域作出实质贡献的过程中,培养了强烈的使命感。实践者学者社区不仅推动了我的学术追求,更塑造了我更广阔的社会责任感与社区参与的坚定承诺。"
此类项目对于鼓励/支持人们开展社区参与和/或实践者导向的研究至关重要。我特别珍视这种反复阅读与反思的过程——它让我得以调整研究节奏,重新认识研究工作对我当前高等教育领域身份认同与实践的重要意义。
