Change or Transformation?
Abstract
This chapter draws on research carried out into a major national project funded by the government in the United Kingdom aimed a transforming teaching and learning in one sector of education known as the Learning and Skills sector. This sector, recognised as suffering from the ‘middle child syndrome’ (DfES: 2006), locates as a optional part of the learner journey between school and work or university and tends to be followed by those pursing a vocational training pathway. The sector is also renowned for providing new opportunities for adult learners wanting to re-train or gain qualifications required for new career pathways. This chapter explores the discourse of transformation in a programme of Continuous Professional Development for Teachers which adopted an e-portfolio for assessment purposes. The training programme was delivered using a blended learning approach. The research that informs this chapter was collated using electronic investigative tools. These are assessed for their usefulness whilst particular focus is given to evaluating the ambition for transformation as articulated in the programme aims.
