DESCRIPTION:When we speak of ‘knowing’ something in Education\, it can
  be bewildering. To what are we referring? Is it knowing how young people 
 in our schools learn about civics and citizenship? Or is it knowing of the
  ways in which the historical circumstances of schooling have developed in
  different contexts or economies? Or perhaps\, is it knowing how to struct
 ure school education to meet the new demands of Web2.0 technologies? When 
 we start to scope the nature of professional knowledge-building in as dive
 rse and widespread a practice of education it becomes clear that the field
  is governed by so many variables as to be vast\, with some corners immens
 ely fertile and well cultivated while others are virtually uncharted. I am
  interested\, in this presentation\, to explore how knowledge beyond acade
 mic knowledge and what has become known as Mode 2 Knowledge has been accum
 ulated\, evaluated and subjected to critique and debate. I shall seek to b
 lur the boundaries between those who are understood to be the producers an
 d those who are the users of professional knowledge in terms of their func
 tions and the esteem that is attached to them.
