The recognition of prior learning (RPL) as pedagogical practice
An effective system of Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) requires assessment processes that are appropriate for the nature of the experiential learning being assessed. Otherwise, potential candidates may be discouraged from engaging in RPL applications and therefore not benefit from the lifelong learning opportunities available. It has been argued that foregrounding RPL as a specialised pedagogical practice, and not just as assessment, can help…

It shows that abduction involves an expert-like intuition, where the interaction a…

One issue has been the association with elements of reform such as scripted curriculum programmes and high-stakes standardized testing. This article argues that while Bobbitt’s message was one of scientific management and efficiency, this was to be pursued in a particular kind of way, quite distinct from…
