This book, by combining sociocultural, material, cognitive and
embodied perspectives on human knowing, offers a new and powerful
conceptualisation of epistemic fluency - a capacity that underpins
knowledgeable professional action and innovation. Using results
from empirical studies of professional education programs, the book
sheds light on practical ways in which the development of epistemic
fluency can be recognised and supported - in higher education and
in the transition to work. The book provides a broader and deeper
conception of epistemic fluency than previously available in the
literature. Epistemic fluency involves a set of capabilities that
allow people to recognize and participate in different ways of
knowing. Such people are adept at combining different kinds of
specialised and context-dependent knowledge and at reconfiguring
their work environment to see problems and solutions anew. In
practical terms, the book addresses the following kinds of
questions. What does it take to be a productive member of a
multidisciplinary team working on a complex problem? What enables a
person to integrate different types and fields of knowledge, indeed
different ways of knowing, in order to make some well-founded
decisions and take actions in the world? What personal knowledge
resources are entailed in analysing a problem and describing an
innovative solution, such that the innovation can be shared in an
organization or professional community? How do people get better at
these things; and how can teachers in higher education help
students develop these valued capacities? The answers to these
questions are central to a thorough understanding of what it means
to become an effective knowledge worker and resourceful
professional.
