Project Title: Working with changing knowledge: a case study in Computing Science
Supervisor:
Dr Charles Anderson
Research topic:
An investigation of how a group
of long-experienced Computer Science academics handled knowledge change
in their subject. The academics were individually
interviewed, in one-to one open conversations and reflected upon change in knowledge
and teaching over the past twenty or more years of teaching in the subject.
The site was a Scottish new university and the subject was more towards
applied Computing than theoretical Computer Science.
Professional experience:
The principal
findings are that change is derived from outwith
the academy; the main interests of the academy
are in programming as the core field; field knowledge
exists in several different groups and enters the
academy from companies, students and lay users;
the principal addition to field knowledge by those
working in the academy is via the design of new
degrees in the field.
