Learning in work, work in learning: Relations between constructive ergonomics and the learning sciences

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

This short text is a commentary on Constructive Ergonomics from the point of view of research in the Learning Sciences, whose aim is to establishing a joint research agenda. This aim is motivated by the recent convergence between the worlds of work and education/training, in practical and academic terms. The main issues discussed are theories of development and learning and synergies between methods in Design-Based Research and in Constructive Ergonomics. It is concluded that these two fields have the same theoretically constructed object of study-personal, collective, organisational and societal development-and that a potentially fruitful exchange could be carried out on the levels of theories and methods for understanding development in education and professional training.
