This E-CER project investigates effective professional collaboration. Collaboration competences are becoming increasingly important in professional practice, yet they remain under-researched across many workplaces and within the scholarship on professional learning. Their development requires targeted learning. We know that intensive, researcher-led interventions can effectively support such learning, but they are also resource-intensive. This project will establish the new interdisciplinary research theme of facilitating the learning of professional collaboration competences through simulations in two exemplary domains: medical and teacher education as well as professional development.

Leveraging its multidisciplinary project team, this E-CER aims to integrate research on simulation-based learning (SBL) design, learning and instruction, and work practices in education and medicine to create a framework that links practice-relevant SBL design with evidence-based learning mechanisms and domain expertise. This will drive the development of new practice-based research methods and instruments to investigate how collaboration competences develop, while maintaining a focus on relevant current and future challenges in education and medicine.
