  8. The Industry Fellows Model CCSC-NW 2009

  9. Key Characteristics • Working together on curriculum review, planning and delivery of a course related to the professional's expertise • Division of labor to exploit what each does best • Regular interaction between industry fellow, students, and teacher during academic term • Sustainable time commitment for both faculty member and industry fellow CCSC-NW 2009

  10. It’s about expertise CCSC-NW 2009

  11. Periodic Table of Expertise Beer-mat Knowledge Popular Understanding Primary Source Knowledge Interactional Expertise Contributory Expertise Collins and Evans, Rethinking Expertise, University of Chicago Press, 2007 CCSC-NW 2009

  12. Tacit knowledge • Lots of expert knowledge is tacit “those things we know how to do but are unable to explain to others.” • Expert tacit knowledge is learned socially “mastery … cannot be gained from books … but can sometimes … be gained by prolonged social interaction with members of the culture that embeds the practice.” Collins, “What is tacit knowledge” from The practice turn in contemporary theory, Schatzki, Knorr-Cetina, von Savigny (Eds.), Routledge, 2000. CCSC-NW 2009

  13. Social learning • Professional practitioners and teachers in the discipline have different contributory but overlapping interactional expertise. • In Industry Fellows, we mutually socialize one another into our different practice communities. • And, we each socialize students into our respective practice communities. CCSC-NW 2009

  14. Practitioners and higher-ed faculty inhabit different worlds CCSC-NW 2009
