This book addresses issues confronting universities’ attempts to
integrate practice-based learning in higher education curriculum,
yet which reveals the jostling of cultures which exist within and
amongst the academy, industry, government and professional bodies
and other educational providers. The book engages theory in
practices, and draws upon research highlighting the issues and
transactions that emerge with implementation of work integrated
learning arrangements as uses these resources to discuss and
develop further both theoretical premises and procedural
contributions. The illustrative cases derive utilise metaphors of
culture in their exploration of the epistemologies, structures,
politics, histories and rituals which constrain program opportunity
and success in making these advances. The volume comprises two main
sections, the first laying out focal issues in the integration of
learning and work in higher education. This section presents the
issues at multiple levels of analysis and in theoretical terms.
This section provides a foundation for the second section of the
book which introduces a number of research studies illustrative of
the issues theorised in the first. The cases highlight the practice
of workplace and higher education pedagogy. They provide thick
descriptions of experiences of integration and are explicitly
focused on the implementation of work integrated programs in higher
education. The volume commences with an introductory chapter which
sets out the range of issues addressed both theoretically and
through illustration in the book and a final chapter critically
reviews the contributions and acts to provide a cohesive picture of
the learning practices of work and higher education and the
possibilities of their integration.
