Description: The UK Teaching and Learning Research Programme (TLRP) has a major programme of research (2000 - 2008) on workplace learning (involving ten major projects) and the findings from TLRP and related research are being synthesised in a pair of complementary websites that currently under further development. However, the challenge has now been extended whereby the findings from a range of other workplace learning projects, that have been linked to TLRP in some way, drawn from across the world, will also be incorporated in resources on 'research on work-related learning', which is principally drawn from researchers working in the Teaching and Learning Research Programme.
A group of researchers, drawn principally from TLRP, were involved in the initial clustering of issues and choice of themes in a way that supports investigation of theoretical and methodological issues as well as those associated with the learning processes and allows switching between different levels of analysis. In order to allow for different lenses with which it would be possible to view research on work-related learning the group felt that 10 branches might be about the right number for ease of organisation. After discussions in small groups the researchers agreed over a series of meetings to think about workplace learning in the following way, organised around the ten categories outlined below.
The outcomes include research findings from projects being presented in ways that facilitate breadth and depth of views of the research outcomes. Additionally, material is also presented thematically, organised around the following themes
" Research Methodologies / Strategies
" Theoretical bases
" Learning contexts and settings
" Organisational learning and work design
" Factors affecting learning
" Learning processes
" Knowledge at work
" Strategies for enhancing learning
" Learning trajectories and transfer
" Policy (national / regional / organisational)
