This article examines the various stages of the Learning by Developing process adopted by Laurea University of Applied Sciences. The article is based on ongoing research.
The Learning by Developing model is based on a development project that is genuinely rooted in the world of work, which aims to produce new practices and demands collaboration between lecturers, students and experts from the world of work in order to progress.
At a university of applied sciences, it is essential that the creation of new knowledge and understanding lsoa become explicit as skills in doing. The institution aims to develop the kinds of competence that transcend the traditional dichotomy between the vocational and the scientific. Graduates possess competence in professional doing and scientific knowing, where the scientific describes, explains and justifies the professional and allows for the generation of new expertise. Thus, universities of applied sciences can be seen as higher education institutions that produce added value.
