Learning to practise : professional education in historical and contemporary perspective
How does one become a professional? Learning to Practise is an interdisciplinary collection that offers new insights into that fundamental question. Employing a wide variety of approaches and methodologies, the original and thematically linked essays discuss such problematic issues as the most appropriate site for professional education, the proper focus and content of the initial and on-going preparation of professionals, and the nature of both continuity and change in professional education. In the process, they raise challenging questions about the development of professional education in Canada and elsewhere from the early nineteenth century to the present day, in fields as diverse as the health sciences, law, engineering, social work, theology, and university teaching
