Boundary crossing

Collaboration 🡪 Tensions

Implicit? Hinders collaboration

The ability to collaborate across tensions

Not undesirable, but a necessary condition for a learning-process

The case

A development team is developing a minor program.

MBO, HBO and WO* students are learning together in the context.

But.. the team is also boundary crossing between the different institutes and developers.

A question that is often asked is: How do you assess the different levels?

We invite you to think along by playing this role play.

*

MBO = secondary vocational education

HBO = higher professional education (applied sciences)

WO = university education

Instruction format

Everyone at your table is a part of the development team
Everyone has a passport with their own role

(5 members + 1 observator)

We will walk through the different learning mechanisms of Boundary Crossing

1. Identification (10 min)

Read your role + �"the mission“ (2-3 min)
Who sits at the table? �Who is missing?�(7-8 min)

2. Coordination (10 min)

Now you know who is present and who is not.
Discuss: “How to assess per level?”
Decide if and how you want to differentiate!

3. Reflection (10 min)

Time out!
Discuss if there are any tensions
What did you do to discuss each other's perspective?

4. Transformation (10 min)

How can you connect the knowledge, insights and perspectives when deciding whether to differentiate in the minor?

Translation to own context

What are the lessons learned from the observator?

What do you take with you to your own context?

What kind of advice would you give us? And what are the warnings?
