Recenzje

'It is extremely well structured, organised thematically, and provides an easy read. It will appeal to a broad readership, including those in teacher education, and continuing professional development; and also to those in other professional education roles in a wide variety of contexts and settings ... this book ... will form a useful addition to the collections of those with responsibility for providing INSET and ITE in both HEIs and School-based contexts ... In addition, post-graduate and doctoral students exploring andragogic frameworks for the supervision of students in a multiplicity of practice learning contexts will benefit from its inclusion in their personal and departmental libraries.' - Research in Post-Compulsory Education
