Meld je aan voor het Higher Education Research Symposium over het Verborgen Curriculum

Education and boardgames have a surprising number of things in common—achieving a goal, navigating a system, working alongside others—but one of the most productive resonances is that they both rely upon rules. As such, within this workshop we will playing boardgames developed by the Playing the Hidden Curriculum team in order to explore the hidden rules of education and the impact that they have upon staff and students alike. Over the course of an hour and a half we will introduce you to the experience of being beholden to rules that you don’t understand, discuss the role of your own positionality in navigating the hidden curriculum, and finally offer some suggestions on how to contest those unspoken assumptions and expectations that generate inequality. By the end of this workshop you will have a renewed understanding of the invisible ways in which the power dynamics of the classroom and beyond are formed and reinforced.

In this workshop, participants will undertake a journey in understanding how the HC manifests in the classroom and what the consequences of this could be. In order to gather different perspectives, we will look into what the HC means for the various disciplines and find overarching themes within the HC. In the second part of the workshop, participants will engage in working towards concrete ways to challenge the HC in their own teaching and learning practices. This workshop will be provided in English and we welcome all teachers, students and policymakers to attend this workshop. Goals of the workshop are reflecting on what the HC means in one’s own discipline and how it defines the discipline, gaining multidisciplinary perspectives on the HC, its manifestations and outcomes and finally, sketching an initial plan on how to address the HC within one’s own academic journey.
