Findings from research made available.
"The eSTEeM project was an 18-month systemic inquiry beginning January
2014 initiated by a core team of 5 academics associated with the
production and presentation of the postgraduate programme in Systems
Thinking in Practice (STiP). The inquiry comprised a series of online
interviews over two phases, and a workshop held in London Regional
Office in May 2015. There were 33 interviews in total, including
interviews with 10 postgraduate students undertaking core modules
associated with the STiP programme, 8 STiP alumni, 8 employers of STiP
alumni, and 7 Associate Lecturers teaching on the STiP programme. The
one-day workshop involved 41 participants including members of the core
eSTEeM team, all interviewees from both initial phases, along with
other special guests invited on the basis of their involvement, support
and interest for the STiP programme.
The project aimed to design a learning system for transforming the
‘threats’ of a gap between postgraduate study experiences and post-study
work experiences into ‘opportunities’ for radical pedagogic adaptation
and (re)design. One such course where the gap is evident is with the
postgraduate suite of qualifications in Systems Thinking in Practice
(STiP) launched at the OU in 2010."
