The education of social care practitioners is a current issue in
Ireland, as in other countries, with concerns about the
qualifications and work practices of those caring for vulnerable
members of society. Despite this, little research on the experience
and impact of education on practitioners has been conducted. This
book examines the process of social care education from the
perspective of the participants' developing and changing identities
as students and practitioners, thus bringing together research on
adult students, professionalism and professional learning.
Identities are viewed as located within the social structures of
the profession, workplaces, prevailing discourses about education
and the educational institution. Factors which influence the
relationship between the identities of student and worker and the
transfer of learning are identified. This analysis provides the
reader with an insight into the students' perspective of
professional education and provides suggestions for social care
educators to facilitate the learning and professional development
of social care practitioners.
