Core concepts in education are changing. For example,
professional performance or expertise is not uniquely the fruit of
specialist knowledge acquired at professional schools, but the sum
of influences exerted by a complex web of continuous learning
opportunities for which an individual is well (or ill) prepared by
their schools and their workplace. The key contributory factors to
professional expertise are how professional schools connect to
professional practice, how schools prepare graduates for continuous
learning, and how the workplace endorses continuous development.
Thus, the question this volume addresses-how to design learning and
working environments that facilitate the integration of these three
elements-is at the heart of contemporary pedagogical theory. The
authors also ask a second vital question: how do we educate
learners that go on to maximize their life's learning opportunities
by regulating their own ongoing learning?
"Learning at the Crossroads of Theory and Practice" argues that
with the theory of learning at a crossroads, this is an
unprecedented opportunity for learning about learning. The book
sheds light on different elements of this challenge: integrating
theory and practice in business education, generating and fully
exploiting workplace learning opportunities, and enriching our
classrooms by coupling theoretical knowledge with the richness of
real-life experience.
