I drove out to my parents’ place to start writing and to pick my mom’s brain. She writes this stuff for a living and I would be a fool not to. Plus she feeds me delicious food J Anyway, through the research there are a number of key themes I am seeing emerge, and luckily they appear to be consistent with the same themes that popped up in the literature review!
Themes like: policing is changing but police training is not, police are still being taught in the liberal style of being lectured to and information is being provided with no immediate context, PBL is being used in some places but not most (I am seeing a lot of new “training” programs that are PBL-based but are called something different, like POST, RENO model, and PTO), that adult learning theory is really gaining traction, and that almost no one is using DT!! I wonder why they aren’t? Maybe they don’t think cops can handle Digital Technology? I hope there is more research on this.
I am going to borrow Maggi Savin-Badden’s book since if I remember right she was a guru in online PBL environments. I think mom has it. Fanshawe College library doesn’t.
