Developing Learning Professionals - Integrating Experiences in University and Practice Settings (Hardcover, 2011 ed.)

Currently, there is a growing world-wide interest in work-integrated learning across higher education institutions. This is arising from the increased emphasis within higher education on courses that prepare people for specific vocational education outcomes, and even for graduates to be job-ready. This edited volume advances understanding and practice associated with how the integration of student experiences across the university and practice settings might best proceed in assisting realise educational purposes associated with preparing graduates who are adept, yet critical practitioners. It does this through drawing on the findings of a series of projects in Australia that investigated diverse aspects of work-integrated learning. Together, these projects provide a powerful platform to consider and appraise different aspects of this educational initiative within the same national higher education context. Through drawing on a series of investigations that address pedagogic and curriculum practices, institutional arrangements of different kinds and partnerships, a consolidated set of perspectives, instances and findings arise whose coherence resides in the organisation and enactment of work-integrated learning in the same higher education context.
