This book is an edited collection addressing competence and
professionalism in Vocational Education and Training. Its prime
focus is the caring professions of teaching, youth work, social
work and community care. Contributors examine critically the design
and operation of competence-based approaches in the contemporary
British context. They explore the advantages and limitations of the
dominant National Council for Vocational Qualifications model, both
at a theoretical level and through analysis of practical experience
in the caring professions. The book argues that this model is
located firmly within technically reational, managerial approaches
and, despite good intentions and some useful ideas, is
fundamentally flawed. The authors consider alternative approaches
to competence, drawn from principles of professionalism, and
conclude with some clear pointers to ways in which professional
development in the caring professions should be advanced. Phil
