  • Learning in the air traffic control tower

    Christine OwensARTICLEEducational Philosophy and Theory2022

    This paper examines the learning and performance of the air traffic control (ATC) work domain. This domain was chosen because it embodies features that represent future work for many other industries (e.g., information service provision mediated by information technologies; a high reliance on communication skills and collaborative work; increasing complexity and intensity of the work activity), within an organisational context undergoing consider…

  • Addressing challenges for future strategic-level emergency management

    Open AccessKaryn Bosomworth, Christine Owens et al.ARTICLEDisasters2017Citada por: 2Referencias: 29

    The mounting frequency and intensity of natural hazards, alongside growing interdependencies between social-technical and ecological systems, are placing increased pressure on emergency management. This is particularly true at the strategic level of emergency management, which involves planning for and managing non-routine, high-consequence events. Drawing on the literature, a survey, and interviews and workshops with Australia's senior emergency…

  • Effects of networks on learning during emergency events

    Open AccessJafar Hamra, Liaquat Hossain et al.ARTICLEDisaster Prevention and…2012

    Purpose This paper aims to explore the relationship between learning and the social networks employed within the context of emergency management. It hypothesises, using social network theory as a framework for analysis, that changes to interconnectedness between actors are implicated in the potential for those actors to learn and improvise in dynamically changing and emergent conditions. Design/methodology/approach To test the hypotheses, survey …

L’article discute, de manière théorique, les problématiques soulevées par ces situations, en analysant les pratiques observées lor…

  • The challenge of combining ‘lay’ knowledge with ‘evidence-based’ practice in health promotion

    Open AccessJane Springett, Christine Owens et al.ARTICLECritical Public Health2007

    ‘Lay’ knowledge is important for developing socially appropriate health-promotion practices. However, the current emphasis on evidence-based practice privileges expert and experimental knowledge over experiential and local. In practice, the integration of the two forms of knowledge is a negotiated process. A process evaluation of ‘Fag Ends’, a smoking cessation service, provides a case study of how lay advisers tried to integrate National Health …
