Team Academy in Practice

Abstract

In his quote “It is impossible to export pedagogical practices without reinventing them” Freire (1997) emphasized the idea that educators should pay careful attention to “cultural differences”, insisting that education should neither impose nor colonize. This second book of a four book series focuses on the different contexts and learning environments in which Team Academy pedagogical and cultural practices coalesce.

Programmes around the world implementing TA methods will explore how for instance, experiential learning, transformative learning or competence based learning is applied in their local contexts. Authors will discuss pedagogical designs in different settings, propose innovative assessment strategies, and reflect about how pedagogical factors influence, for instance, student motivation and engagement. The fact is that cooperative partnerships have made TA programmes grow and expand to different countries (i.e. China, India, Africa), disciplines (i.e. sport entrepreneurship) and levels (i.e. postgraduate degrees) but that expansion is not easy and often faces institutional barriers. Throughout these chapters of this book the readers will understand how that expansion was made possible, and which impact that had. The learnings from this book will also help the reader reflect on how the different TA programmes need to adapt to serve young team entrepreneurs that work in a glocal interconnected world. This all will not be possible without the team coaches that support these learners throughout their journey of self-learning, real projects and businesses. Thus, the book also includes a chapter around the training and development framework of team coaches that help comprehend the activity undertaken within this global TA system and leaves the opportunity for organizations to further build it based on their specific contexts.
