Professional Identity Within Changing Healthcare Roles: Exploring the Third or Hybrid Space
Full text linkThe ever-changing landscape of healthcare policy has impacted significantly on the development of nursing roles (Lloyd–Rees, 2016), and consequently seen the growth and transformation of existing professions and introduction of new healthcare roles. While the Emergency Nurse Practitioner (ENP) role is now well established within urgent care settings, it has evolved in an adhoc manner, responding to service demand. This has resulted in varying levels of job satisfaction and inconsistency in titles, uniform and scope of practice.
Using photographs or images to describe their perceptions of the role, experience and perceived professional identity, participants reported moving away from their traditional nursing practice into something different that bought new challenges and often conflict. Applying Bhabha's (1994) concept of the ‘third space’ to our findings suggests that ENPs have adopted a hybrid role that is operating within a ‘third (or hybrid) space’, where new identity is formed. Our participants' uncertainty around this (and that of others) could negatively impact the development of professional identity during transition into this new role
Theorising adults, theorising learning
Full text linkThe irony of all theorising is its propensity to generate, not an understanding, but a not-yet-understood. (Oakshot, in Muller, 2015, p. 1)Adult learning theory is one of the central domains of lifelong education research. Anyone coming to the study of adults as they adapt to and change in life, work and education will encounter theories such as ‘behaviourism’, ‘cognitive psychology’, and ‘humanist psychology’, often expanded to include adult-oriented variants considered under headings like ‘andragogy’ and ‘transformative learning’ (Illeris, 2018). Students of adult learning theory will also find that ‘context’ has been recognised as a key factor for understanding this kind of learning, with critical and situated accounts highlighting that learning is not a purely personal event but is something that in an important sense goes beyond the individual adult (Merriam, 2015)
Research patterns in comparative and global policy studies on adult education
No full textThis chapter frames comparative and global policy studies on adult education as an intelligible area of research, and presents a meta-investigation that, without claiming to be exhaustive, enables researchers to reflect on and interpret what connects existing studies, and identify possible gaps. It does so on a corpus of 58 academic texts produced and/or in circulation in the Global North, for the most articles in peer-reviewed journals and, to a lesser extent, books and book chapters, published in 2000–2015; in short, this meta-investigation led to the identification of four research patterns, each based on a combination of the main unit of analysis and particular research scope. By pinpointing at their strengths and limitations, the author argues for the need to cherish these diverse patterns and the necessity of scrutinising closely the type of knowledge they produce
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
