Abstract

In the contribution, first the concept of development and its interrelations with education is critically discussed. This leads to reflexions on the dysfunctionality of these educational concepts in certain so called non-western contexts in the majority world (also called global south). Instead of following the concept of development, the conditions, under which creativity and innovations can emerge in local contexts, are discussed from a network theory or relational perspective. As a basis, the emergence of knowledge in general is explained shortly, including also in line with the interest of the special issue in locality thoughts on indigenous knowledge. This approach is bringing together thoughts on localities, networks, and the emergence of knowledge with perspectives on conditions of possibilities for the emergence of innovations and creativity. I am using tools from the network theory to describe and analyse these relations and processes in detail. For the analysis, I will use an example from a Nigerian classroom.

通过“本地”知识的相遇而出现的创新。新的行动是如何在网络中出现的

在这篇文章中，首先批判性地讨论了发展的概念及其与教育的相互关系。这导致了对这些教育概念在大多数世界(也称为全球南方)的某些所谓非西方背景下的功能失调的反思。不是遵循发展的概念，而是从网络理论或关系的角度来讨论创造性和创新在当地情境中产生的条件。在此基础上，对一般知识的产生进行了简要的解释，其中也包括了符合本专题兴趣的关于本土知识的地方性思想。这种方法将关于地方、网络和知识出现的想法与创新和创造力出现的可能性条件的观点结合在一起。我使用网络理论的工具来详细描述和分析这些关系和过程。为了进行分析，我将使用尼日利亚课堂上的一个例子。

期刊介绍： Increasing international competition has led governments and corporations to focus on ways of improving national and corporate economic performance. The effective use of human resources is seen as a prerequisite, and the training and development of employees as paramount. The growth of training and development as an academic subject reflects its growth in practice. The International Journal of Training and Development is an international forum for the reporting of high-quality, original, empirical research. Multidisciplinary, international and comparative, the journal publishes research which ranges from the theoretical, conceptual and methodological to more policy-oriented types of work. The scope of the Journal is training and development, broadly defined. This includes: The determinants of training specifying and testing the explanatory variables which may be related to training identifying and analysing specific factors which give rise to a need for training and development as well as the processes by which those needs become defined, for example, training needs analysis the need for performance improvement the training and development implications of various performance improvement techniques, such as appraisal and assessment the analysis of competence Training and development practice the design, development and delivery of training the learning and development process itself competency-based approaches evaluation: the relationship between training and individual, corporate and macroeconomic performance Policy and strategy organisational aspects of training and development public policy issues questions of infrastructure issues relating to the training and development profession The Journal’s scope encompasses both corporate and public policy analysis. International and comparative work is particularly welcome, as is research which embraces emerging issues and developments.
