Th e Pedagogy of Placements in Criminology Teaching: An Interactive Parallel Model of Criminological Learning
Journal Title: Białostockie Studia Prawnicze - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 23
Abstract
Formalised placements in criminological programmes are not a widely used teaching strategy in England and Wales (United Kingdom). Th is article presents the fi ndings of a small study which explored how placements reinforced and enhanced the criminological understanding of the student and whether there were benefi ts for mentors. Th e preliminary results indicated a positive correlation between what the student had learned in the classroom, and how this was applied in the “real world”. Building on Wenger’s communities of practice and Dalrymple, Kemp and Smith’s triadic learning, there emerged a parallel model of interactive criminological learning for students and mentors; a model that could not be emulated through traditional pedagogical teaching alone, thus reinforcing the concept of experiential learning (Kolb, 2015), in a journey framed by Burch as that from unconscious knowledge and application to a conscious competent performance.
