The three concepts central to this volume-practice, learning and
change-have received very different treatments in the educational
literature, an oversight directly confronted here. While learning
and change have been extensively theorised, their various contexts
articulated and analysed, practice is notably underrepresented.
Where much of the literature on learning and change takes the
notion of 'practice' as an unexamined given, its co-location as a
term with various classifiers, as in 'legal practice' and 'teaching
practice', render it curiously devoid of semantic force. In this
book, 'practice' is the super-ordinate organising idea. Drawing on
what has been termed the 'practice turn in contemporary theory',
the work develops a conceptual framework for researching learning
in, and on, practice. It challenges received notions of practice,
questioning the assumptions, elisions, conflations and silences on
the subject. In so doing, it offers fresh insights into learning
and change, and how they relate to practice. In tandem with this
conceptual work, the book details site-ontological studies of
practice and learning in diverse professional and workplace
contexts, examining the work of occupations as various as doctors,
chefs and orchestral musicians. It demonstrates the value of
theorising practice, learning and change, as well as exploring the
connections between them amid our evolving social and institutional
structures.
