Abstract

This article examines an innovative approach to teaching and learning anthropology, developed within an EU Erasmus+ project PEOPLE. Learning Cycles address the mismatch between skills gained by students and the ones expected by employers in industry. It elaborates on the example of university-industry cooperation established in Slovenia, in which students of anthropology and other related disciplines worked on a real-life case study, gaining industry-relevant skills as well as ability to communicate across disciplines. The authors examine and evaluate the problem-based teaching and learning processes, in which the students, supervised by academic and industry mentors, experimented with their existing anthropological knowledge, skills and methods. By taking the learning process outside of the classroom into a research field site and industry environment of an automation and manufacturing IT company, the students gained experiences in positioning themselves as anthropologists within a research & development team, communicating their research processes and findings, and understanding the relevance and potential of their knowledge and skills in a non-academic, practical settings.
从课堂到行业:通过斯洛文尼亚的真实案例研究教与学人类学
本文探讨了一种创新的人类学教学方法,该方法是在欧盟伊拉斯谟+项目PEOPLE中开发的。学习周期解决了学生获得的技能与行业雇主期望的技能之间的不匹配。它详细阐述了在斯洛文尼亚建立的大学-产业合作的例子,在这个例子中,人类学和其他相关学科的学生进行了一个真实的案例研究,获得了与行业相关的技能以及跨学科沟通的能力。作者检查和评估了基于问题的教学和学习过程,在这个过程中,学生们在学术和行业导师的指导下,用他们现有的人类学知识、技能和方法进行了实验。通过将课堂外的学习过程带入自动化和制造IT公司的研究现场和行业环境,学生们获得了在研发团队中将自己定位为人类学家的经验,交流了他们的研究过程和发现,并了解了他们的知识和技能在非学术、实际环境中的相关性和潜力。
