Promoting Knowledge Work Practices in Education (KNORK)

The KNORK project builds on a need for easily applicable pedagogical approaches supporting novel knowledge work and digital competencies. The project develops and tests pedagogical methods, supportive ICT tools and teacher training models to improve these competencies and practices in secondary and higher education applying the "trialogical" learning approach that defines principles for sophisticated collaborative knowledge creation practices. Especially rich use of technology and cross-fertilization practices between educational levels as well as educational institutions and work life organizations are promoted. The pedagogical models and supportive technologies will be experimented and refined in four countries across Europe (Bulgaria, Finland, Italy and Sweden). All development work in the project will be made in collaboration between researchers, teachers and other experts through workshops, field-testing and co-design activities.
