Learning to be Professional through a Higher Education e-book

Edited by Professor Norman Jackson

 

Sharing and integrating perspectives on the process of being and becoming professional

SCEPTrE's e-book project was launched in September 2009. It comprises a series of Chapters written by members of the SCEPTrE Team, or commissioned by SCEPTrE or volunteered by the people who use this wiki. The purpose of the book is to explore the idea of learning to be professional through a higher education and to bring together a range of perspectives on what being professional means, and descriptions and evaluations of different approaches that are used to prepare learners for the complexities of a life-time of being professional. If you would like to volunteer a Chapter describing the approaches that you use or offer a perspective on what being professional means, please contact the editor Professor Norman Jackson Norman.Jackson@surrey.ac.uk or norman@chalkmountain.eu

 

Goals

  • to demonstrate the power of an e-book as a mechanism for collaboration and sharing/disseminating knowledge and wisdom for improving practice
  • to encourage fresh thinking to improve understanding about what learning to be professional means in the contexts of a rapidly changing and uncertain world
  • to encourage the sharing of research findings and to make these accessible to the community of educator practitioners who work in this field 
  • to discover and showcase pedagogic, curricular and organisational practices that are both effective and inspiring in helping learners begin their journey to becoming professional.

 

We welcome contributions. If you would like to contribute please read the guidance notes. 

Friendly invitation to contribute to an e-book.doc
