The International Handbook of Research in Professional and
Practice-based Learning discusses what constitutes professionalism,
examines the concepts and practices of professional and
practice-based learning, including associated research traditions
and educational provisions. It also explores professional learning
in institutions of higher and vocational education as well the
practice settings where professionals work and learn, focusing on
both initial and ongoing development and how that learning is
assessed. The Handbook features research from expert contributors
in education, studies of the professions, and accounts of research
methodologies from a range of informing disciplines. It is
organized in two parts. The first part sets out conceptions of
professionalism at work, how professions, work and learning can be
understood, and examines the kinds of institutional practices
organized for developing occupational capacities. The second part
focuses on procedural issues associated with learning for and
through professional practice, and how assessment of professional
capacities might progress. The key premise of this Handbook is that
during both initial and ongoing professional development,
individual learning processes are influenced and shaped through
their professional environment and practices. Moreover, in turn,
the practice and processes of learning through practice are shaped
by their development, all of which are required to be understood
through a range of research orientations, methods and findings.
This Handbook will appeal to academics working in fields of
professional practice, including those who are concerned about
developing these capacities in their students. In addition,
students and research students will also find this Handbook a key
reference resource to the field.
