Frontline Learning Research Special Issue: Researcher Education and Careers

 Vol 3, No 3 (2015)

This special issue brings together the outcome of our first scholarly discussion at the SIG 24 inaugural meeting in Barcelona. It consists of five co-authored papers that address multiple levels and issues of researcher education: establishing what the multifaceted phenomenon researcher education and careers is and providing key concepts that others might take up, e.g., informal/invisible curriculum; the personal as a sphere of activity that may collide with the sphere of work; drivers of education that can provide cross-national points of comparison.

Further, by identifying gaps in the literature, these papers together lay out an ambitious research agenda in a number of areas related to researcher education. In the process, they provide an extensive list of references well worth exploring since they represent the knowledge networks of over thirty researchers.
