Analysis and continuing Development of Learning Location Cooperation in Nursing Education (LeKoP)

In a competitive process, the Vocational Education Research Group was able to secure funding for a new third-party funded project on about learning location cooperation in nursing education. This project will be financed by the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) over a period of three and a half years. Due to many unanswered questions on this topic, the project is starting with a hypothesis-generating approach. This will be followed by a nationwide survey in which the developed hypotheses will be tested. The findings will result in an online training series as well as recommendations and tools for practical application. In contrast to previous approaches to learning location cooperation, one focus is on the use of hybrid spaces and the associated boundary objects. The knowledge bases of different learning locations should be brought together in hybrid spaces in order to enable targeted boundary crossing. Hierin lies the genuine potential for innovative learning location cooperation.
