Number of People Keen to Include This ||=  ====People who have knowledge or experiences they could share in this area. Please specify what support/ help you can provide. ==== || Anyway, I am interested in finding more about the psychological phenomenon of 'thin slicing' and the role of astrocyte brain cells. I love it that at last science is validating the notion of instinct but would like to discuss the implications of this for teaching and learning. Is particularly interesting and kind of confusing that 'instinct' or astrocytes-based pattern-type knowledge is being hyped and explored and simultaneously 'evidence-based' teaching/decision making is advocated -is there any conflict there? Also how can ICT help or hinder thin slicing? I'm no expert on any of this stuff and have probably written in the wrong bit of the page but it's interesting to think about. || ||  || Angie, ACC Cluster - will share work on action research/needs analysis/strategy planning for beyond the contract || || Chrissie here.
